Well, in the history of the NHL there have been 21 players who have scored 600 goals. Crosby is one of them. Is that not "all time elite?" he will likely finish near or even slightly above 700. That's not elite? He also has 2 Rockets.By what metric is Crosby, who has 3 career 40+ goal seasons, an all-time elite goal scorer?
In fact... by what metric is he an all-time elite playmaker? I looked up and Sid was top 5 in assists 6 times, leading the league once. And I'm not saying it isn't great, but kinda not impressive enough to compare it to Ovechkin's goal scoring, is it?
In assists he's 10th all time. He's one of 14 players in history with 1000 assists. He will likely finish in the top 4 of all time in assists. That's not elite?
So to summarize, Crosby is top 20 all time in goals and top 10 in assists.
Ovi is #1 in goals soon, but not even top 50 in assists.
Crosby has more points even while play almost 2 less seasons. He's also 9th all time in points per game played, while Ovi is 34th, several slots behind Malkin, the all-time p/gp Russian.
I'm not sure how you can equate that Crosby isn't elite at the 2 main aspects of scoring, while Ovi is only elite at 1.
