i would say to judge them based on the entirety of their career up to this point. Durability is one factor, for sure.

If all of them have the same teammates, the same coach/GM, the same situation all around, it’s McDavid. He’s the best player since Mario Lemieux.

I agree with your theory on paper. Problem is, I already know with those players and Crosby i'm winning multiple cups. Probably should, isn't the same as guaranteed. Maybe Mcdavid goes down as the better player in history, i'll take the proven cup winner at this point.

are they all on the coyotes? or the late 90s wings? funny part is if its the terrible team, none of them win cups but likely still win lots of individual awards. If its the 90s wings they are all going to win cups anyway. so the question is always flawed. only real difference is if you want the center versus the wing which has nothing to do with Ovis abilities.

I love when people attribute winning to a single player in a game where 19 people all contribute to the team.
That said, I voted Crosby. He's the most talented grinder the league has ever seen and I guess I'm valuing that grinding work ethic rubbing off on the rest of the team more than McDavid's incredible skill or Ovechkin's power forward abilities and penchant for finding the net.
Most talented player is probably McDavid, but if I'm building a franchise my cornerstone has to be Crosby.
...yup...McJesus might be the most talented to ever play, but Sid's up there with Mario, Gretz, Howe as the best leaders in the history of the game...
This is Crosby. He’s better looking, more marketable, better personality. Does more charity work.

Crosby for me. He can beat you in so many ways. Down low, along the boards, around the net, or make a gorgeous rush dancing through an entire team. He combines super elite skill, grit, and the intangibles. I recall him owning full shifts, completely controlling play. I hope we see a player like him again (in my lifetime, that is).
