IMO if you took Crosby in a time machine and plunked him into the middle of the 1980's, he'd easily put up the numbers Gretz and Mario did. He'd skate circles around the plethora of slow, lumbering, pylon defensemen, and forwards who never heard of the term "back check", and destroy the stand up goalies with the rolled up news papers for pads.
It'd be a slaughter.
