No, I think that's an old misconception at this point. It's too late and I've had a few too many drinks at this point but last I remember they were all in the 6.5-7 goals per game range.
T@T brings up an interesting point with Crosby vs McDavid. Connor McDavid is 18 and has been since January. Sidney Crosby didn't turn 18 until two months after his draft. Might not sound like much, but 7 months of extra developing is quite a bit at those ages.
Regardless McDavid is leaps better then anything they ever drafted at number one overall before but the generational talent label might be iffy. (and usually is to be honest, it gets thrown around way too much)
