True… but you don't win by terrifying the opposition. The year that Lindros got his 115 points (the only time he ever broke 100), Forsberg got 116 points and a Stanley Cup ring. Forsberg was also a better defensive player; there's a reason he got Selke votes seven years running, with four top-10 finishes. Between the two of them, I take Forsberg over Lindros.

Watched both of their whole careers. Lindros was incredible. Forsberg was probably better, but it was very close. And ultimately yeah, Lindros teams always had the feel of an under achiever.
