Mcdavid is around Lafleur levels at this point.
Yep, Lafleur is a really good comparable to McDavid and I don't know anyone who puts Malkin over Lafleur.
Through age 25
Lafleur: 1 Hart + 1 Hart Finalist, 3 First + 0 Second All Star RW, 1 Ross, 1 Smythe, 3 Cups
McDavid: 2 Hart + 2 Hart Finalist, 4 First + 1 Second All Star C, 3 Ross, 0 Smythe, 0 Cups
Age 26-28
Lafleur: 1 Hart + 1 Hart Finalist, 3 First + 0 Second All Star RW, 1 Ross, 0 Smythe, 2 Cups
McDavid: TBD
After age 28
Lafleur: Nothing noteworthy
McDavid: TBD
Lafleur is always going to have the edge in Cups because he played for arguably the strongest dynasty of all time. Outside of the playoff argument, McDavid already has an equal or slightly better set of hardware, and the margin is going to become quite clear within the next year or two. He also can't help but have a better post-28 career than Lafleur, who largely self-destructed. We are at the precise point in time where Lafleur's dynasty advantage still carries enough weight to make it a real debate, but that will be over pretty soon.
