from John Kreiser of NHL.com,
Who’s the best offensive player of the 21st century? It depends on how you’re answering the question.
When it comes to goals, Calgary’s Jarome Iginla is the runaway winner. The Flames’ captain enters the 2008-09 season with 283 goals since 2000-01, 24 more than Jaromir Jagr and 28 more than Marian Hossa. But Iginla’s average of 40.4 goals in seven full seasons takes a back seat to Atlanta’s Ilya Kovalchuk, who’s fourth overall with 254 goals, but has averaged 42.3 in his six NHL seasons. And they’re both well behind Alex Ovechkin’s average of 54.3 in his three seasons since joining the Washington Capitals in 2005.
