In interviews about who is the hardest to get off the puck players nearly unanimously say Crosby because of his tree trunk legs. Mcdavid can't keep up his pace as he's currently carrying the team. He'll inevitably start to fade as he's not built like Iginla or Crosby to carry the team on his back for 82 games.
Crosby was kind of a p#### in his first year or two. McDavid could end up being a beast physically like Crosby, you never know.

I wouldn't jump to too many conclusions about Mcsavior's career projections yet, since he has all the tools to be as good as Crosby. Will he? I have my doubts.

It's been a few years so the memory could be hazy, but Ovi and Crosby's first few years in the NHL were seriously something special. McDavid's first couple years have been great, but not exactly the phenomenal stuff we saw from those two guys. Again though, anything could happen, given that kid's toolbox.
