He put up 41 points in an era where points were not hard to come by. There is no way he would be the best player in the NHL today in his prime and he wouldn't even make an NHL team today at 51. It was a different time. If you could somehow manage to transport a prime Howe into next season I would venture that he would get multiple suspensions from his antics and elbows and end up on someone's 3rd line. The game has just changed too much.
