It’s one of these impossible debates.  There’s so much more sweepers do now compared to even 10 years ago, never mind thirty.

Definately in the discussion.

 

But what makes it most difficult is how you compare european titles to Briers etc, and value of Grand slams, world ranking, and the fact that the best canadian skips has a more difficult way to get the same number of chances at international championships.

But It´s not like he could have done much better, except for not winning an olympic gold but I guess that is expected now after 4th-bronze-silver in the previous olympics.

Not until he gets himself an Olympic gold medal.  Hard to argue with 5 world championships, but until he adds an Olympic win, he can only be considered one of the best and not necessarily the best.
