Crosby 19th Consecutive PPG Season

If Crosby would have stayed healthy in his prime and won an additional 2 seasons worth of trophies, that would propel him firmly into that Orr/Lemieux/Howe tier. Him not having those trophies means his upside is like #5 or #6 overall, with those trophies he would have broken into the top-4.

Is McDavid in that tier then? Cause giving Crosby those trophies would have him roughly equal to the ones McDavids actually won.

He was 31. The year before (1990-91) he had 163 points in 78 games and 103 EVP. No one was even close to him at even strength in 1991. How good is 103 EVP? It's a number Lemieux never hit and was only on pace to hit twice.

In 1991-92 he dropped to 63 EVP (8th in EVP). It's a massive injury drop off. He publicly contemplated retirement.

The hit functionally removed 0.5 EVP/G from his arsenal.
Wayne was 30 when he got hit from behind by Suter, not 31.
 
He just did it again, I think (80 pts missed 2 games), for a 20th season in a row....
