we need some fricken clarified definitions up in here. this is the way I interpret it:
Greatest - sum total of accomplishments over an entire career
Best - highest sustained level of play during a player's prime
by that criteria, Gretz is without question the greatest, while in my opinion either Orr or Lemieux (aptly named) were the best. Sid is neither of those yet, but we won't be able to make that call until 10-15 years from now when he's ready to call it quits.
