Right now there is and should be no debate at all. Right now Crosby is proving he's the best in the world. There's no better playmaker and he's also proving that right now there's no better goal scorer. He's simply the best in the world, bar none.

yup no one is even comparable to him, no one is even close.

crosby in his peak prime will dominate the nhl for the next 7 seasons minimum.

i expect him to average 115 points over the next 7-10 years. and imagine if he gets some good wingers to play with LOL
