Which Current Players Could've Played in the 70s?

The 50's style of hockey was a totally ifferent era as many know. Fighting was more prominant, chheap shots occured more and of course as even ESPN notes brawls were alot more than the yearly rarity. What current players could gone into Philly or Boston in the mid 70's w/their current teams and fit right in w/that style of play?



The ones that jump to mind:



Chris Simon



Chris Pronger



George Laraque



Jarome Iginla



Sean Avery



Zdeno Chara



Tomas Holdstrom



Ryan Smyth



Ray Emrey-Totally reminds me of Billy Smith but average



Vincent Lecavilier maybe



Pat Kaleta maybe



Jason Smith maybe



I'd say Superstars like Crosby, Ovechkin, Kovalchuk would likely get by on tons of talent as well

Good list Jacoby but IMO you left out the biggest ''throw back'' player of them all. When I see Mike Richards play....throw back is what comes to mind.



Avery probably would not have lasted in the 70's. He would have been carted off on a stretcher.

Pronger,
