Hey!
I think that timing and circumstance around when these two guys joined the team has a huge effect on how they are perceived.
Turgeon had the misfortune of immediately replacing the most beloved Sabre ever, and a true HOFer, and was traded for the most charismatic player we’ve ever had who happened to have HOF level talent himself. And as mentioned upthread, Turgeon is the highest scoring player not in the HOF.
Jack, on the other hand, filled a vacuum of suckitude. Frankly, it’s been since LaFontaine that we’ve had this kind of skill level at forward.
There is no shade in claiming Jack is working towards Pierre level. He’s accomplished less so far, after all.
