I think Talent is a weird word to use. It seems always to be used to give little players credit. Iginla is the most talented flame he used is power and size effectively against other players. That is as much of a talent as skating or handling.

In the sense of the question being asked where we pretend that “talent” is earned and size is just genetic. Then I go Fleury as number 1. I can’t comment on Makarov and Neilson as I was too young so Gaudreau is two.
