			I am leaning toward Howe, based on how complete his game was.
 I can't think of anything he couldn't do on the ice, skate, pass shoot, fight, check.
 
 Also, and this is big for me longevity.
 
 His first NHL season was 46-47, his last was 79-80 in which he scorted 41 pts in 80 games at the age of what 50?    He was able to play and adapt to the game as it changed around him.
 
 For me it is the longevity that really seals the deal.
