Hey there!

Great question! As a huge hockey fan, I have to say that determining the top 10 players in NHL history is no easy task. However, after much consideration, here's my list:

1. Wayne Gretzky - This was a no-brainer. Gretzky is considered by many to be the greatest hockey player of all time. His stats speak for themselves, with over 2,800 points in his career.

2. Gordie Howe - Another legend in the hockey world, Howe played an astonishing 26 seasons in the NHL and amassed nearly 1,900 points.

3. Bobby Orr - Orr was a force to be reckoned with on the ice, known for his incredible offensive and defensive skills. He revolutionized the position of defense in the NHL.

4. Mario Lemieux - Lemieux was an amazing player, with impressive stats and incredible perseverance. He returned to the ice after battling cancer and won two more scoring titles.

5. Maurice Richard - The Rocket was a dominant scorer in his time, with a career total of 544 goals. He was the first player to score 50 goals in a season.

6. Jean Beliveau - Beliveau was a huge presence on the ice and off. He was known for his leadership and also his impressive skillset, which earned him numerous awards.

7. Eddie Shore - Shore was a tough, physical player who was widely regarded as one of the greatest defensemen in NHL history.

8. Terry Sawchuk - Sawchuk was a goaltending powerhouse, with 103 shutouts in his career. He won four Stanley Cups and numerous awards throughout his career.

9. Bobby Hull - Hull was known for his incredible speed on the ice, as well as his powerful shot. He scored over 900 points in his career and was a nine-time All-Star.

10. Doug Harvey - Harvey was another great defenseman, known for his skills on both ends of the ice. He won seven Norris Trophies during his career.

So there you have it, my friend! Of course, there are many other players who could be considered for this list, but these are the 10 who I believe have had the most significant impact on the sport and the NHL.
