Agreed. There's no replacing him as a player. Hate the Oilers, he's the best I've ever seen. Back-to-back finals almost solely on his back.
If there's a day he parts ways either via trade or free agency, it's a day we'll be celebrating because we've somehow escaped this era without our biggest rivals bringing home a cup.
