Better at what?
I think, first of all, that this is an "unwinnable" argument. People have their opinions.
My opinion is:
Favorite player - Yzerman
Best player - Lidstrom
Its my opinion that Lidstrom has been the best player in the entire NHL over the last 10 years. Not just best defensemen, but best player period.
I think the true measure is his impact on other players. From Konstantinov (my favorite player before he got hurt), to Murphy, Schneider, and now Rafalski, every player that plays with Nick has the best season of their careers. It isn't an accident, the guy makes it so much easier on everyone else.
