The Winner of the Hart Trophy (most valuable to his team) or the Art Ross Trophy (leading scorer in NHL) are usually used to distinguish which hockey player in the world is the best. However, there many other factors such as goalies, players playing in Europe, defencemen, and players who are currently injured. Therefore, there is no exact way to measure which hockey player is the best in the world. One may say Sidney Crosby, Alex Ovechkin, or Steven Stamkos, however, one cannot say for certain.

There are many players considered the best by different people, this is a hard question to answer. But, most people agree upon Wayne Gretzky as the best forward of all time, Bobby Orr as the greatest defenceman, and the goalie is harder to answer but if you look at overall statistics it will probably be Martin Brodeur by the end of his career (but probably Patrick Roy right now). As a side note, there was a Russian player (I cant remember his name) who was said to be best player to ever play. However, he never played a game in the NHL so its hard to compare him with NHL players so he is generally not considered. So, to answer your question most people will agree upon Wayne Gretzky as the greatest hockey player ever(with heavy debate).
