He would. Having Joe Thornton type player is a good thing.True....everyone knows Sid probably wouldn't even have been able to hold onto an NHL roster spot if Malkin wasn't on the team.

Crosby scored 102 points without Malkin in 2005-2006 as an 18 year old rookie on an offensively challenged Penguins team whose second highest scorer had 58 points that season. To say that Crosby wouldn’t even be in the 500 goal, 500 assist club without Malkin is pretty outlandish.To be fair, Sid was lucky to have Malkin on his team. Without him Sid wouldn't be in 600/600 or even in 500/500 club.
Malkin factored in 123 goals; 250 assists; 373 points.

I said or. He might do it w/o Malkin. 500 assists is easy to score. 174 players with 500A. 48 with 500 G.Crosby scored 102 points without Malkin in 2005-2006 as an 18 year old rookie on an offensively challenged Penguins team whose second highest scorer had 58 points that season. To say that Crosby wouldn’t even be in the 500 goal, 500 assist club without Malkin is pretty outlandish.
