massive era gap so hard to say but logically you'd think he'd be better than Gretzky with speed alone
He'd be a second line centre
And what if Gretzky had played in the '50's? Who cares. Accept who they are now and stop trying to stir up a generational debate.
You never lived through the 80s, way more physical. You think there was no defense, right
The red line would slow him down a bit, combined with the hooking. He would still have 300 points if he took his skates.
The better question is, how would gretzky fare today?
You also have to take todays gear in consideration. Its way more advanced, from the sticks to the skates. Also everything revolving the clubs, more advanved sports physical staff and so on. its just a different game.
As stated in the video (or in the comments) the game was way more physical and rougher.
Theres no way he would perform as good 40 years ago as he's doing today.
Still think he would be equal to some of the big names for sure.
McDavid would also need tobget used to much heavier skates, sticks, etc… plus two line passes, a lot more water-skiing… also, he would need to go get himself a Marty McSorely.
Irrelevant af.
At least he’s going the speed limit when he’s blowing by defenders
Imagine what Gretzky or Lemieux could do with today's equipment, rule changes, and advanced off-ice training.
He would not be as fast. Technology and the chase for millions and millions was not there. There was no agents at 12 yrs old and he would likely have played other sports too. It's a completely different era. Compare how each of them dominated their era is the only fair way to compare… and its not even close
He would double every gretsky record
