Let's just calm down and wait before saying he'll never be Gretzky. Nobody will be. But Gretzky was never Orr, so it's not like it matters.

Orr was the greatest player. Gretzky had the greatest career.
Crosby is the best player in the game today but he isn't in the same class as those two who transcended the game.
