I wasn't born or too young at the time to even remember what 80's hockey was like. I grew up watching hockey in the 90's so maybe the comment of, one of best player we have ever seen is recency biased.
Mario is probably the best talent ever. McDavid is right up there with him. His speed and skill is on a different level. Hey may not be a winner, great leader, has no personality but that doesn't mean he isn't super talented. Who is the last player that had the type of speed and ability to make plays at that top end? Bure?
