Greatest players to play for the Penguins:

1. Lemieux
2. Jagr
3. Crosby

That's a given, right?

Greatest players as a Penguin...? Or just anyone who put on the uniform for us...? Assuming the former, it's Mario, Crosby, Jagr for me, in that order. Three top 20 players in the history of the game...

It's been a while now, but do you recall on LGP the all-time draft that we did...?

Gary Roberts played like 60 games as a Penguin...regardless of protein shake game, he really doesn't qualify here...with all due respect to him and what he's about...

This gets somewhat difficult IMO.

Very interesting to see the all time leaders in points of the Pens. I probably never would have guessed the guys at 12 and 14 were that high up.

Hopefully one day someone will unseat Ramzi Abid for top of alphabetical order. Dude sucked so bad he doesn’t even deserve that.

Names to consider: Kehoe, Pronovost, Coffey, Fleury, Barrasso, ...

TIL Pittsburgh is only one of three franchises with four 1000-point players. The others are

Chicago

and

Detroit

.

My list of my all time favorites, and it doesn't have to mean they were with the team for the majority of their career or whatever, but as guys that contributed and just stick out to me:

All time best
Lemiuex, Jagr, Crosby, Malkin, Francis

Up there (spent majority of career with Pens and were big contributors)
MAF, Barrasso, Letang

Best of the rest (Spent a lot of time elsewhere, but were equally split among other teams so don't have a one team "identity"

Coffey, Murphy, Mullen, Sameulson, Stevens, Kovalev, Straka

Again, these are the guys I remember playing, and who always stick out to me with their time with the Penguins.

The pre 1988 Pens I don't remember watching, so I'm sure there are guys on their that should be on the list, I just never seen them play.

My all-time list of favorites (not best), in order:

Lemieux
Crosby
Jagr
Malkin
Francis
Stevens
Coffey
MAF
Kasparaitis
Recchi
Kunitz
Murphy
Kessel
Straka
Letang
Mullen
Kovalev
Nedved

Anyone to play for the Pens.

And unfortunately, I don't remember that.

My man, @meow.

I'm not sure that I could put Ulf in my top 20.

Athletes in the 80s all looked stupidly old because of their stupid mustaches.

How dare you talk about @blackjack68

that's a lot of randomness!

I think the intent (as it is at least 95% of the time) it's their career value as a Penguin...otherwise, I'm gonna get a lot of mileage out of Andy Bathgate...

Incidentally, I wonder if Marleau is even a top 500 player of all time...Morrow isn't...

And pounding Ben Eager
