If he hits 100 on the nose, he’ll only need 82 points next season to climb into the top 10 all-time.

And he'd be just the 4th player not born in the 1960s to be there (Jagr, Howe and Dionne being the others)

Crosby is tied for 3rd all-time with most seasons in the top ten in scoring (tied with Beliveau with 12 seasons). Howe is first with 21 seasons, and Gretzky is second with 16.

Pretty cool how Sid is still third (albeit a distant third) in PPG behind Lemieux and Gretzky in that group. Super interesting how he will age out - scoring is going up and it's really hard to say how long he'll want to play for.

You missed Dionne. Crosby will likely fall just slightly behind Espo but 5th is still great.
 
Crazy, with how many games he's missed he's only 50 points behind Joe Thornton who is by far the highest scorer from the dead puck era.

Jagr?

He started his career well before the DPE.....guys who entered the league after 1996 are in their own generation (Thornton, Igina, Marleau etc) those guys started right when scoring when down, obstruction went up and didn't play a single game in the high scoring early 90s.

I mean if that's the criteria it's not really very impressive(or surprising) that Crosby, an all-time great, outscore all players who played in a low scoring era during a very limited time span.

What criteria? Just pointing out his scoring in reference to the top scorer from the previous generation.

That all points need to be accumulated during a very subjective and losely defined era in order to be valid in the comparison.

As a sidenote if you compare Jagr and Thornton only during overlapping years who comes out on top?
 
Only 315 points or so to catch Ron Francis who I think is #188th in the HF top 200 players (and won Selke's, Cups, and was a great faceoff guy and captain). Like underrated much?

Not to take away from Crosby, BTW.
