but so many players I'd love to know what their careers would have been like if they didn't have their injuries/illnesses. Lindros, Lemieux, Orr, Neely, Karyia. even gretzky before his got his shot in the back in his later years.
for some reason out of all the players, I think if Orr had two good knees he likely would been the best player of all time.

I think that Gretzky and Orr revolutionized the game like no others.
But Orr did it at a time when it had been largely stagnant for a lifetime. So, I would agree with your choice.
