He did lead an Oilers team to their final cup with a team missing a lot of their stars from the 80's. I read a biography on the cup winning Rangers and trust me, Messier was the reason. That team had a nutcase for a coach in Keenan who was constantly feuding with Neil Smith, crazy players like Kovalev and players who flat out HATED Keenan. Messier is a tremendous leader.
