I don't think that was the case at all with Howe, he had only the highest praise for Gretzky, but wanted to start his dream team with Orr on defense.

Always difficult to see how great players in any sport would play in a different era. Michael Jordan playing in the late 1950's early 1960's, would he be alot like Oscar Robertson but with superior defense? I think I give nod to Lebron because I believe in any era he would be a truly great player. Same with Gretzky an exceptional talent that would be dominant in any era. So Wayne gets my nod. Brodeur gets my vote for greatest Goalie. A very difficult position to play great as long as he did. Go Devils!!!!
