Non team sports withstanding, the GOAT must be so good that he’s able to elevate his new team to championship contender. Brady just did it, LeBron did it, Gretzky couldn’t .
Not as a LA King
Not as a St. Louis Blue
Not as a NY Ranger
Not as a Olympic Canadian player
Gretzky was only able to win his Cups on a stacked Oiler team, but even the argument that he could win with talent is flawed because Gretzky was on a Heavily talented Olympic Canadian team in ‘98 and they couldn’t get a medal

Even accounting for Flames message board bias, this is the worst take I've ever read.
