Re: Is Crosby "officially" the best player in the sport?
I think so. Obviously I have a bias as well, but I'm not one of those guys that's gonna put the blinders on and pretend anything to do with my teams is automatically the best or whatever.
Looking at it, he's a more complete player than Ovechkin is. A few years ago Ovechkin had the clear advantage in the goal scoring department, but now Crosby has closed that gap this season and the last. And up to this point he's been a much better playoff performer than Ovechkin as well.
Stamkos is entering the discussion as well, but he still has a ways to go to become a complete package like Crosby is.
Honestly, I think that if you asked all 30 GMs in the league who they would take if they had the 1st pick in a league-wide draft, Crosby would be the #1 pick just about every time.
