I’ll take the 2 centres as much as I like Ovi

This is actually super tough.

If we can ignore health issues - id pick Crosby and Malkin. If we consider the health issues we know they had - tempted to take the other 2.

Geno has some serious health issues. But three cups. Pens don't arguably win even one without both guys. Have to go with Pens duo here.

Edit. And I accidentially voted McDavid and OV. Consider my vote changed.

 

[ScaredStreit]

I'll take the two that have won 3 cups and you know what you're getting with them on the same team.

Yeah. It's tough. I feel like Sid is the safe bet to be ranked highest of the 4. Ovechkin is an upgrade to Malkin though. McDavid is the wild card here. I guess the smart money is with Crosby. McDavid might prove to be better but I would not bet money on it.

I made it so votes can be changed now.

I might of been born last night, but I’ll take the young guy. Who would draft 30 year olds?

McDavid will win more Art Rosses and Harts than Crosby, but Crosby would have won more of each than he's won if not for health problems during his prime. It won't be easy for McDavid to outdo Crosby in the playoffs in a career-sense.

Question imagines each player is the age he was when drafted.

Yeah. Crosby is going to be one of those guys who's individual trophy case will not be an accurate representation of his abilities. Two Arts, two Rockets, two Harts and three Lindsays is still an amazing accomplishment. But OV will have way better hardware. Yet we all know Sid is better.

Ovechkin and McDavid.

Ovechkin is better than Malkin (who is made of glass anyway).

McDavid is pretty close to Crosby already, should surpass him.

 

[Albus Dumbledore]

Yes.

 

[wabagee]

Crosby =crybaby Malkin=Wheeler made him his female dog last season!

 

[ijuka]

McDavid and Ovechkin because having Malkin as 2C is worse value than having Ovechkin as 1W.

 

[ricky0034]

are we assuming they're all the same age?

because McDavid being a decade later provides something of an unfair advantage to the Crosby/Malkin pair here since you get them both in their prime together at the same time

yikes

 

[Luigi Lemieux]

Gotta go with the two centers and two of the greatest playoff performers of all time.

Assume you're drafting players at the ages they were when drafted.

 

[Hagstrom]

McD & Ovie

 

[Karl Eriksson]

Ovy > Malkin clinches this for the McDavid Ovy duo.

 

[filinski77]

Crosby slightly > Ovechkin
Mcdavid >> Malkin

Or/

Ovechkin > Malkin
Mcdavid = Crosby with the potential for Mcdavid to surpass him

 

[daver]

Assuming healthy, Crosby/Malkin

 

[Laineux]

McDavid and Ovechkin because the other duo is more injury prone. We do not know if McDavid is yet, but we do know that Crosby and especially Malkin have been.

OP is saying you're drafting them at their actual draft age....so no way to know what the future holds re: injuries
