McDavid's numbers compared to the greatest seasons in NHL history - adjusted to this years scoring levels

[Dingo]

I always considered Ovie and Malkin’s big seasons to be better than Sid’s 120pointer (and Thornton’s 125 for that matter). Game was different for those two years.

As has been said - Crosby never had a full season at his absolute peak.

Crosby in 06-07 looked better to me than Thornton, but not Ovechkin and Malkin at their peaks. Remember he was playing with Armstrong and old Recchi I think back then, didn't really have a good goal scorer to feed like Thornton did with Cheechoo, even though Thornton obviously boosted Cheechoo's stats by a lot.

you think those are more impressive?

2009-10 Crosby > Thornton. Prime Crosby > Thornton, Peak Crosby > Thornton, so what is the significance of the two full seasons in a row thing?
