In total body of work....AND, it Lightning body of work....cannot see how Klima gets in ahead of Andreychuk.

Both had 3 or so Lightning years. Both tallied 60 or 70 goals (As Lightning players). Andreychuk had 3 20 goal seasons with Lightning and the far better career overall.

Klima ranked tooo high. Just my thoughts though. I would put Andreychuk ahead for sure.

If nothing else, the playoffs of 2004 should make Andreychuk the landslide winner over Klima!!!

I had forgotten that Klima played that long for us. My memory from that period is a bit foggy.

One thing I do recall is Klima being criticized for his lack of 2-way play. He would linger around center ice and wait for a break out pass. Rarely would he backcheck or engage in any form of defense.

He'll always be remembered for that multiple-overtime game winner while in Edmonton.
