OK, When you surround yourself with the likes of Chris Chelios, Brendan Shanahan, Listrom and cast, plug in a goalie, you will win. Stevie Y is no doubt one of the best forwards of all time however, Mark Messier did the captains job better than anyone. 6 Stanley Cups including a momumental guarantee that "the Rangers would win tonight" at the Meadowlands down 3-2 and then the guy goes out and scores a hat trick to seal it as the Rangers marched their way to the 94 Cup. 6 Stanley Cups guys! All of this while becoming the 2nd most prolific scorer in NHL history. Gretzky was simply great, but not as a captain. After he left Messier in Edmonton how many Cups did he help land? NONE! Mark Messier is the greatest Captain in NHL History. Bar none! Shame on you all for not considering that. Being a great captain has nothing to do with scoring goals, it is all about leadership and getting your players motivated, nobody has done a better job, not Sakic, not Stevie Y, not Stevens, nobody!
