Do you have him in your top 10?

Yes.

He still scores a lot. Toss in above-average defense, leadership, and clutch play.

 

[Luigi Lemieux]

Of course. He's top 10 in scoring and he brings way more than scoring nowadays so easily top 10 overall. Complete player in every way.

 

[MessierII]

Top 10 yes. I don’t have him top 5 anymore but he’s still pretty damn good.

 

[ItWasJustified]

Yes.

 

[rodney dangerfield]

top 5-7 imo

 

[Gnome17]

Probably, but barely. Just looking at forwards I think McDavid, Drai, Mathews, Marchand, Panarin is above him at this point. Then theres Kane, Marner, Stone, Rantanen, Huberdeu, Barkov, Oreilly, Bergeron, Pastrnak. Probably someone else im missing too. Crosby imo is somewhere inbetween those two groups. I guess you can even argue hes better than Marchand and Panarin, it is really hard to compare like that. Top15 for sure. Though, if you add in D-men aswell, he might not be in the top10.

 

[robes1]

Yes

 

[Midnight Judges]

Eh maybe. He's fringe top 10 I suppose. 14th in points over the past 3 seasons, 32nd in goals.

He's got a nice offensive upside but he's a defensive liability (not that it matters because he really isn't asked to play much defense).

MacKinnon

Crosby is still a top 10 player but needs his line mates to succeed. And that isn’t a knock because he is getting up there in age.

 

[Tad Mikowsky]

Yeah. Maybe around the 5 mark.

 

[Ignite111]

Yes

 

[RorschachWJK]

No, too many forwards, dmen and goalies have passed him. Not even a top-10 forward, though that is close. Top 5-10 center yes.

 

[chauron]

He should be, even part of Hart discussions maybe. Such a complete player with amazing leadership, benchmark level guy

 

[Lolonegoal]

How many posts into this thread before a goals vs. assists, or more cups vs. less/no cups arguments breaks out?

 

[ZenOil]

If he wasn't Sidney Crosby I'd say no.....but he is Sidney Crosby so I say so.

 

[Steven Toast]

Borderline top 10.

 

[Black Kevin]

It's not McDavid vs MacKinnon, McDavid vs Draisaitl, or McDavid vs Kucherov. It's still Crosby vs McDavid. Three Cups, babe.

Read this post... and thought to myself "Does this guy even watch hockey? He's claiming the opposite of what 95% of the rest of the universe sees and says."
Then I checked to see who posted it. Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.... never mind. No idea how you still have an account, buddy.

 

[Fatty McLardy]

I would put him top 15 at this point.
