Which is to say - both of them achieved gaudy numbers through longevity and not by having out of this world single seasons.

I also wonder how much we under-rate Crosby. The fact he is never discussed is interesting to me given all he's accomplished and his elite level in all facets of the game.

Is he top 10? Top 20? Where does he fit in.
Howe won the Hart trophy 6 times, Jagr just once so I would argue he had several dominant seasons. Howe obviously achieved his totals through longevity but also played in an era where there was less scoring.
