We would be the only team to not win a cup after being gifted a generational player, no? Even Quebec/Colorado still won after trading Lindros, who was a borderline generational guy between Gretzky/Lemiuex and Crosby. Excusing Philly a bit because Lindros' families empty space between his skull and brain was definitely not generational, in a good way at least.

We've enjoyed a decade of top in the world play from McDavid. We also got one of the best playoff performances by a forward since the age of Gretzky and the first Conn Smythe for a non-goalie on a losing team in almost half a century. Somehow, no cup.


Well, there is that team in Toronto with a clear generational talent in Matthews which hasn't had a sniff of the 3rd round, let alone the Cup. Probably not too early to call that one ...

Not sure whether goalies count - but is Hellebuyck a generational talent in goal? Always at or near the Vezina?



If only Matthews was generational and hasn't always been the 2nd best player on his own team :)

Yeah, I guess goalies are pretty disrespected with the generational labels. Roy was one I guess? Hasek too, so maybe the post dynasty Oilers really do have destinies tied to the Sabers.


Roy? NO His giant jerseys were certainly generational(ly big) !!
