ADFS Top 15 NHL Players of All Time (#1 Vote)

We're going to conduct a top 15 list of the great NHL players of all time. Like the other 'top' lists we are current producing, there will a list of top to vote from and a list of players that will move up to replace the player who gets voted into a numbered position. Once you vote, tell us who and why you picked them and then tell us who from the bottom list should move up.

Never watched a full NHL game but this seems to obvious so I voted.

Trying to get some NHL interest and talk going

Pretty easy poll here. Gretzky, and it's not really close.
