It's hard to take some of these posts seriously when you know that the poster is so jaded he cannot give any kind of objective opinion.

Is anybody really saying that?
I think you'll find people who think Crosby is still the best player in the league, but nobody doubts that McDavid is in that conversation, and he's 20.
This conversation is about whether you would commit $12.5M of your cap for 8 years to one player, regardless of who he is. I would bet, dollars to donuts, that most of us would too.
But it's an open question with some interesting viewpoints.
And never forget that hating Edmonton is one of your biggest duties as a Flames fan, which includes making fun of them for overcommitting to one player, regardless of how objective that opinion is.
