I don't think I am. I think a winger is almost always of less value than a defenceman or centre of equal skill. Teams whose best player is a winger don't do as well as teams whose best skater is a centre. Sid and Ovie were considered pretty close in value at one time. Not any more, and ordinary wingers turn into scorers on the Pens. The Flames had the best winger in the game and didn't do that well. On the other hand, crap teams added a Pronger and became contenders.
It's one reason I'd take RNH over Hall.
