Of course this article then goes on to place the LA Kings at #1 in NHL power rankings...

It is an interesting topic though, especially when you consider his 3 missed seasons in the KHL (though it's unlikely he would still be going today if he played 82 game seasons). Always hard to compare wingers and centremen...even though Jagr is one of my favourites I'd rather have Sakic, Yzerman, Esposito, Beliveau or even Messier on my team. IMO Howe, Richard and Bossy edge him out on the wing too.

I struggle to include him in the top 10 all time for forwards, let alone top 3...

I think it would be fair to say he's had the best career of any winger since 1990...anyone come anywhere close to agreeing with this article?

I do hope he continues his tour for another season or 2 and racks up a few more goals, points and jerseys.
