Sergei Makarov>Sergei Fedorov

oooh - I knew I forgot one. but I'd still put fedorov > makarov.
of course I didn't see much of Makarov in his prime. mostly in his 34 year old Rookie of the Year season and beyond.
I have more vivid memories of the Green Line (fedorov - Mogilny - Bure) than of the KLM line (Krutov - Larionov - Makarov), too
so I could be mistaken about that whole comparison.

Definitely hard to compare the two puck. Had Makarov played in the NHL from the start we could make a better comparison stats wise. I was a huge fan of those Russian teams and the KLM line.

/Loved to watch Fedorov play as well, great career.

Sergei Fedorov (then Makarov)
Vladimir Petrov (then Krutov, then Lutchenko ... Konstantinov maybe in Top 10)
Aleksandr Ragulin (then Maltsev, maybe then Mogilny or Ovechkin)
Evgeni Babich - Olympic champion, 2-times World champion, 3-times Russian champion, 170 games for national team, 143 goals (maybe then Malkin or Nabokov, but one can make a strong case for Zimin)
Aleksei "got lucky with 1st name" Kovalyov (Yashin, anyone?)
Valeri Kharlamov (then Vasilyev, maybe then Kamensky, with Zelepukin nowhere even close)
Boris Mikhailov (then Mayorov)
Vladislav Tretyak
Vyacheslav Fetisov
Andrei Khomutov
Zinetulla Bilyaletdinov (no competition whatsoever)

agree on Ilya Kovalchuk, Pavel Bure and Igor Larionov
