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.
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 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 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.
yikesCrosby =crybaby Malkin=Wheeler made him his female dog last season!
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
OP is saying you're drafting them at their actual draft age....so no way to know what the future holds re: injuriesMcDavid 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.
