I always wonder how guys like Crosby, Stamkos, and OV would fair if they were taken and placed in the NHL circa 1984? Interesting thought to ponder.

If you took Crosby, with his exact same training, equipment, and skills back to the early 80' it would be a blood bath. He would probably score 300 goals in a single season against the pathetic goalies and pylon defensemen of that era.
It would look like a top rank Midget AAA player, playing against peewees. It is an impossible comparison to make.
I think it would be more interesting, to see what Gretzky could do now. Would he even crack the first line?
