Use your own criteria of what "beloved/iconic" means, but The Q is more than just "who was best?"

Had this debate yesterday and the answers varied greatly.

Threw in a few longshots at the end, but it's likely a battle of the first 5.

BTW...I say Yzerman. I don't think his GM failures taint his legacy as a player. Played his whole career in D. Got there when they were bad. Left with 3 cups and the most iconic goal in franchise history.

Have at it.
