What is the difference between a very good player and an elite player?

The difference between a good and elite player is pretty simple to me.

Good players, they can put up points, make plays, and be a solid player. The elite

players make an average player better, in my opinion. There's many examples, you know.

Can I throw a classic example from our hockey generation out there? Is that a Crosby, Pascal

DePuy? Oh, 100%. Right. I mean... example from our hockey generation out there is that a crosbie pascal de poey oh a hundred

percent right i mean mario lemieux randy cunnyworth right honey sure because you know i mean everyone

who plays in the enchil is good the elite make the average good like in a lyres peterson Pedersen in Vancouver, I love watching his game.

He makes players better around him all the time.

That to me is elite.

So can you say the same for defensemen?

Like what's the difference between a very good defenseman and an elite

defenseman is it the same thing you make your partner better or you just make everybody

else on the ice better or 100% I mean why kale McCar is the best defenseman in

the league that's not because of points because you know I mean because every time he's out there, he can break out the puck.

He can make the simple play.

And all of a sudden, he can make a special play.

He can set up a breakaway with a 150 foot pass.

I mean, he is elite because every time he steps on the ice, it doesn't have to be McKinnon's line.

He can be out there of the third line and still generate chances for them.
