More points this year? Crosby vs Bedard

What’s Crosby’s excuse for winning one Art Ross past the age of 19?

Injuries while leading the league in scoring 3 times

Bedard hit 61 points, at 18, while missing 14 games and playing on an awful team.

If he plays a full season I think he could hit 90 points.

Crosby should be good for 85-90 this year.

It'll come down to health but I expect very similar PPG.

Because of the health factor, I’d take Crosby, taking the health factor out, it’s a pickem

The fact that he won an Art Ross at 19 suggests he’s definitely winning at least two more in his early 20s, but bad timing with injuries held him back.

Let’s not fool ourselves here.

I took Crosby in this poll but the more I think about the more I think that Bedard will take off this year and end up with 50ish goals and 110ish points.

The lack of support last year and physical immaturity (lack of being a top 5% skater) really obscures for some on how good he really is.

I’m not up to date with Chicago’s roster, who do they really got this year to help?

Injuries obviously. Considering he lead the league in points per game six times.
