How good is Sidney Crosby?
He was extremely highly regarded when he was drafted and continued that through the Penguins Cup win in '09.
Concussions seemed to derail his career for a couple years, he had a reputation for pouting and complaining, and there have been rumours he's a "coach killer" (if such a thing really exists).
Since he recovered from his concussions he's been quieter, calmer, and has transformed his game. His offensive ability is without question but his defensive game has developed into one of the best.
Whether he wins the cup this year or not, it's hard to argue that a huge part of the turnaround for Pittsburgh this year and a big reason they're in the finals is Crosby.
So, a decade or so since he was drafted: Where does Crosby rank amongst players today? How do you think Crosby compares to the other greats through history?
