"Who Was Better, Crosby or MacKinnon?" Has Become A Valid Question

[Junohockeyfan]

This is laughable. Crosby!

The difference for me is that Crosby would be named captain if they were on the same team, at any point.

What about when Crosby was at 1.6 and second was at 1.25?

You mean the year that Crosby and Malkin only played half the season, allowing a 1.27 PPG Daniel Sedin to win the Ross?

Where do you think Daniel Sedin ranks compared to the next tier of guys from today like Pasta/Panarin/Rantanen/Matthews/Draisaitl/Pettersson? Exactly the same caliber of player?

Mackinnon is a great player. He is not Crosby.

Comparing raw stats without factoring in the era no sense.

I’d also say this is a pretty lopsided thread. Not much more to discuss here.
