Borderline top 10 at this point. Still an elite player, a 1C on most teams. But when you consider for all positions (C,W,D,G) there are maybe 10 players that are better than him at this point.

For real. Sid could have 4 points right now easily.Lol at all the people saying no. Turn on the Pens game right now and watch. On a different level.
A one game eye test sample? Not a great method. If you watched a certain Oilers-Hawks game in 2012 you would be convinced Sam Gagner was one of the best players to ever play.Lol at all the people saying no. Turn on the Pens game right now and watch. On a different level.
The only forwards that are better are McDavid, Draisaitl, and Mackinnon. He’s absolutely top 10... possibly top 5.
Marchand? Yeah right lolLol no. Matthews, Marchand, Panarin, Draisaitl, Kucherov...
Lol no. Matthews, Marchand, Panarin, Draisaitl, Kucherov...

People putting Crosby in the top10 of PLAYERS apparently don't think any of the league's Dmen or goalies rank highly at all. Factoring those player groups in, Crosby absolutely isn't in the top10 any more.
I forgot about Kucherov. Panarin? Lol... no.
Sure. But he can be shut down, just like Sid. I think I'd take Bread going forward, but for this year, still Crosby all day long.Panarin has been a far, far better point producer for 2 seasons now.
Sure but arguing hes absolutely top 10 because he played well tonight isn't a good argument.lol Crosby has more than a one game sample to back him up I think...
I think Crosby should be 3rd in Hart votes.
So yeah, I think he's a top 10 player at the very least.
I'm a pretty vocal critic of his, who thinks OV has had the better career, I don't think he's "generational", and I put him maybe a the same tier as Jagr and Messier among the all-time greats.
So take my opinion with a grain of salt.
I'm not talking about contract, and I'm not talking about age.
If currently the spring of 2021, I need to win a series, and I have 10 marquee players to fill my roster out with, he is definitely one of those 10.
Jagr and Messier are not in the same tier as eachother so hard to evaluate where you rank Crosby.
