Sure, I have no doubt Gretzky - Lemieux etc would be the best ever line up there if they'd had played together for a decade, they didn't.

But Gretzky, Lemieux and <insert one of several wingers here> DID play together in 87 and were better.
Do they have to play together for a decade to prove that?
I think it's wrong to base a view of who is best based on a country's structure. They played together because of the political regime. That doesn't make them the best, it makes them the product of their environment.
G and L in 87 showed they were better.
