I also wonder how much we under-rate Crosby. The fact he is never discussed is interesting to me given all he's accomplished and his elite level in all facets of the game.
Is he top 10? Top 20? Where does he fit in.

I think fitness and coaching has decreased the gap between the best of the best and the elite players. So I guy like Crosby or now McJesus will never have the gap relative to their peers that Gretzky did.
For 20 years only Jagr, Gretzky or Lemieux won scoring titles
