in term of pure skill, i'd take kariya over anybody during his playing day with his speed/vision/hand/playmaking ability. guys like him, lindros, and forsberg just played in the wrong era where the physicality, clutching, grabbing, trapping style just led to too many injuries and bodies wearing down. too bad.
not sure why but i just can't get into today's hockey like the 90's...damn u bettman!
