I mostly agree with you. Bobby Orr at his best probably was the best hockey player ever. And Mario Lemieux was ridiculous. But I think you're underrating Wayne Gretzky. His stick work absolutely paid off on defense, even though he wasn't physical. And he was better at passing than anyone has been at any aspect of hockey.
What do Dave Semenko and Marty McSorley have to do with this, anyway, other than protecting Gretzky?

Gretzky's defense was ok but laughable compared to selke centers or even above average checking centers. He scored so much why would he need to worry about defense? Godlike in that respect, nobody else could get away w that...
peep this video for proof of wayne's suspect defense in this case losing his team the series lol (blues overachieved that yr anyways tho):
LOL oops
