gold star for USAHOF

26. Brett Hull

26. Brett Hull

Is this rank too high or too low?

If you think it is too high, perhaps it is because you are pointing at the fact that Brett Hull was only with the Dallas Stars for three seasons, not a long period of time compared to many on this list.  While he was an All Star once in Dallas and was still certainly productive, he was not putting up the same explosive numbers he did in St. Louis where he led the NHL in Goals, three of which were 70 plus.  His highest goal scoring season in Dallas was 32.

If you think this rank is too low, perhaps it is because you remember (and should) his playoff performances with Dallas.  It was Brett Hull that scored the winning goal (and yes Buffalo, it was a goal!) that got the Stars their first Stanley Cup.  It was Brett Hull that led the payoffs in scoring the following year and almost delivered them a second Cup.  It was the arrival of Brett Hull to the team that put them over the top from contender to champion. 

If you think this rank is just right, perhaps you agree with us that both arguments are completely valid.  We know for sure one thing that is the rank that will generate the most debate from all of you!
