Interesting article I found.
The guy quantified exactly how much playing with Crosby increased a player's production. Everyone but oddly enough Ryan Malone had a huge bump. Yeah, that is very predictable, but having it put into raw numbers is eye opening, and likely higher than most here would have thought. I excerpted the relevant part:
I made a list of every forward who has played at least 147 minutes with Crosby from the start of the '07-08 season through Monday's games. Why 147 minutes? Because that's where I got to Michael Rupp, which seemed like far enough down the list.
Here are the scoring rates at 5-on-5 (empty net play removed) for those players in their minutes with and without Crosby over that time span:
Player TOI w/Crosby G/60 with/without A/60 with/without Pts/60 with/without Pts/60 increase
Chris Kunitz 2197:49 1.12 / 0.85 1.67 / 0.99 2.78 / 1.84 +51%
Pascal Dupuis 2064:27 1.02 / 0.80 1.66 / 0.98 2.67 / 1.79 +49%
Evgeni Malkin 1181:32 1.32 / 0.88 2.39 / 1.57 3.71 / 2.45 +51%
Bill Guerin 783:29 0.84 / 0.72 1.30 / 0.72 2.14 / 1.43 +50%
Miroslav Satan 347:15 0.86 / 0.71 1.21 / 0.83 2.07 / 1.54 +35%
Ruslan Fedotenko 346:22 0.69 / 0.59 1.91 / 0.90 2.60 / 1.49 +75%
Tyler Kennedy 343:23 1.05 / 0.76 1.22 / 0.93 2.27 / 1.69 +34%
Maxime Talbot 334:02 0.72 / 0.58 1.08 / 0.71 1.80 / 1.29 +39%
Ryan Malone 301:59 0.79 / 0.86 0.99 / 1.06 1.79 / 1.92 -7%
Matt Cooke 282:07 1.49 / 0.68 1.70 / 0.86 3.19 / 1.54 +107%
James Neal 191:27 0.94 / 1.09 2.82 / 0.97 3.76 / 2.07 +82%
Craig Adams 170:41 0.35 / 0.18 0.70 / 0.64 1.05 / 0.82 +29%
Michael Rupp 147:49 1.22 / 0.52 0.81 / 0.50 2.03 / 1.01 +101%
Four players played significant minutes with Crosby, and they all saw bumps in their scoring rate of between 49 and 51 percent. It's safe to say that's the boost we should expect for any new linemate.
