Fair enough and ultimately what this is all about.

I'm gonna respectfully disagree. Actually, this is more for historical context/ranking/discussion. The by-product is competition and team-creation. The latter actually taints the process somewhat (see: the goaltenders so far), but not to enough of an effect to render the results null and/or void...
You just figure that you'll want the best player available to make your team better...by the time you're "filling needs", the difference in player quality becomes almost negligible.
For instance, there's a group of about 6 or 8 or 10 defensemen (I didn't exactly count) that are all of about the same qualification level...Whitney and Mantha among them, that really require some hair splitting to render a verdict...

I have to admit the really difficult part for me is not so much comparing players from different eras (not saying it's easy, of course), but putting the length of their tenure into context. There are still a handful of defensemen available with 300+ games, so I wasn't sure if ranking Gordie Roberts ahead of all of them was really a sound decision.
Edit: Just seen your last post, mikey. Yeah, I get your point. Then again, he was a big part of two Cup winning teams.
