When you say greatest player I think of the most natural talent, I believe Super Mario was the most gifted player ever, being a great player and being a great goal scorer are not the same...of course Gretz, Orr and Howe are all at the top as well...

If you rule out defense, Wayne Gretzky, hands down. But defense is part of the game, so I submit Gordie Howe as the best ever, when combining offense, defense, toughness and longevity.
Howe played a full season in the league at the age of 51 and finished seventh in team scoring with the Hartford Whalers in 1979-80, dressing for all 80 games.
25 consecutive seasons in a Detroit uniform -- 21 of them with 25 goals or more, 103 points in just 76 games in 1968-69 at age 40 and six Hart trophies, all of them won in the more competitive six-team NHL. At 40, Wayne Gretzky was sitting in a rocking chair in the press box!

Bobby Orr
the league's first offensive defenseman. Orr brought a new offensive element to the game when as a defenseman he won the Art Ross trophy and made the offensive defenseman a vital part of the game. his career with cut short by a knee injury but in his short career no other defenseman was as dominant.
Gretzky was "ok" ahhhhhhhhhh
my favorite player was Steve Yzerman
