Don't you think that one of the greatest ever is pushing it?  Great player, but not one of the greatest ever.

Not at all. Please elaborate. 

A hall of famer yes, but not one of the greatest of all time.  Gretzky, Lemieux, Hull, Esposito, and Howe are guys that I think of when someone says greatest of all time.  He's not even the greatest Red Wing of all time.  Yzerman was even a better player than him.  Let me guess, your a Wings fan?
