Can any plausible argument be made that Bobby Orr and not Wayne Gretzky was the best NHL player of all time?
Wayne Gretzky is widely considered the greatest NHL player of all time, but could Bobby Orr have been even better?
Orr was a phenomenal defenseman, known for his speed, agility, and offensive prowess. He won the Norris Trophy eight times, more than any other defenseman in history. He also led the NHL in scoring twice, becoming the first defenseman to do so.
Gretzky, on the other hand, was an offensive juggernaut. He holds numerous NHL records, including most goals (894), assists (1,963), and points (2,857). He also won the Hart Trophy nine times, more than any other player in history.
So, who was better? It's a tough question to answer. Gretzky was more dominant offensively, but Orr was a better all-around player. Ultimately, it comes down to personal preference.
