When Perry reaches his NHL weight (215-225), he will most likely be atleast as effective when it comes to physical play than Crosby.
not necessarily...a lot more factors in there than just size. skating style (affecting stability and center of gravity, etc) strength (just because perry may end up bigger does not mean he'll be stronger or even as strong as crosby when it comes to taking hits and playing in traffic, relative size and strength and all that)
it also depends on what you're trying to define as physical play...i don't know how much crosby does in the way of initiating checks on players with the puck, knocking people around, etc...but again the conversation was originally more about his ability to control the puck in traffic and take the hits and bumps that come with that and still be very effective.
