Riiiiight.

I'm saying, like Jagr in the lat 1990s when he won 5 Art Ross trophies, Crosby is the best player of the game. However, that doesn't make him the best player of all time. Are you suggesting until Crosby came along Jagr was the best player of all time? If not, why?
If we're saying that the overall talent continues to get better (ignoring expansion as well...) then the late 1990s were better than the early 1990s and 1980s and Jagr was best player in a tougher era. Yet no one picks him over Gretzky and Lemieux...
You can twist my words all you want, but I feel like your ignoring some key points in my post because I simply wont say Crosby is better than Gretzky (or at that level).
