I meant to set these up so that you could tell who voted for who, but it looks like we have a lot of group-think so far anyway, a lot of these are 4-0 votes right now

 

my ballot was similar to Bay's except I went with Richard (classic longevity v. higher peak) and Pivonka (not gonna lie, I was voting with my heart not my head on that one)

Yeah, the only one I had difficulty with in this set was Richard vs. Bossy, and it was hard to not vote for the Rocket.

[Bay 2,003]

I could see Beliveau being better than Sakic. Hard to compare the much different eras. Very similar numbers. I just couldn't vote against Super Joe. Went with Bossy because 573 goals in 752 games. 1126 points. 80s or not, do not care.
