Bryan Trottier is Canadian and played years ago while Datsyuk is Russian and is playing now that alone would win him this poll by a landslide on HF.

No, he'll win because he was better.

Wait, did Datsyuk retire recently or something? How can you can compare careers with a guy who is still in the middle of his?

Very dumb poll.

Can't we wait till Datsyuk is retired before we make polls like this?

This is a no brainer. I dont know how anyone could vote for Pavel. Bryan Trottier is a Hall of Famer and clearly one of the best two way centers of all time. Yes Stan Mikita belongs in front of him as a player save for the accomplishments. Datysuk on the other hand isnt even close.

lol, seriously? Datsyuk is like the most universally loved player on HFBoards, I don't really like the Red Wings at all... but Datsyuk is easily one of my favourite players, and a model player.

still voted for Trottier though.

Trottier was great but he was not the best player on his line: playing with Bossy helped him a lot imo.

Who WAS the better player.

Considering Datsyuk still plays I have to pick Trottier.

Not a very smart poll.

Trottier had a Hart trophy, so this might not be as clear cut as you make it.

Datsyuk will be HOF and is a great player in my mind But Trotts is considered one of the best 2 way hockey players to ever play the game and i agree .
Would take both any day on my team but trotts wins this.

Yes he would, he's able to make modern dmen look like children playing with him, imagine what he'd do to the defense back then... He could score AT WILL!! If he went into a game wanting to score 4 goals, he would do it... 12 cups mbe not but considering he has more skill the gretzky, i dont see why he couldnt get those kind of points

Datsyuk has never even hit 100 points in his career. Stop talking.

Sometimes, the "Rookie User" designation just isn't necessary.
