A great playoff player, but not quite in the catergory of one I would call a legend

To set off all the morons who gave Yzerman 1 star. Both great players. I give Yzerman the edge for being a better captain than Sakic.

just as classy as stevie y

this guy is awsum! he is a great captain for the avs,and he is a great leader

Good Canadian Player

Best wrist shot in the NHL, MVP in 2002 olympics...heart and soul player

Joe Sakic, maybe he does have a great wrister and is classy, but he does not play D or lead on the ice.

he's not really the bomb, but he is a badass and i like Colorado. the avs are the greatest team ever. especially in the 95-96 season in which they put a redwing through the glass, draper got demolished and the avs won the stanley cup. Claud Lemieux rocks

The best wrist shot in the NHL...plays best when team needs him..Top 5 player in NHL..2 stanley cups...8 straight division titles..MVP of world games a year ago...even mario lemeiux says he's the best player in the league hands down. How can anybody give this guy a 1...there's not a terrible player on this list except for mike vernon lol.....peter forsberg is a better player when healthy but sakic is the heart of his team ...Peter, Joe, Rob, Patrick, all on the same team.....all I smell is more stanley cups for this franchise.

Becaues a Sakic person rated Yzerman a 1

hes from burnaby...so am i

sakic's a joke, mario est lemieux

May become the best player ever!

Great..not good.

This guy's for real. Best wrist shot in NHL, smart defensive player, OK skater. One of the best all-time on powerplay unit.

Good .. not great.
