I'd have him in my third tier. He lacks leadership no doubt, but on sheer numbers alone, it's going to be hard to deny at the end of his career he was an elite++ player (albeit in a scoring mad time frame).
Everyone does offensive players in their lists, but there are alot of goalies and d-men ones should consider. Sawchuk, Roy, Hasek, and Tretiak (if we're counting non-NHL guys too) all can make a case for being in the top two tiers, as probably could Orr, Lidstrom, Harvey, Bourque, Coffey, and maybe even Niedermayer or Chelios.
