Some of the McDavid/Crosby comparisons are hilarious; they can make it sound like Crosby is all intangibles,etc. Crosby has insane skill. He can score of the rush, AND off the cycle. He makes crazy high-IQ passes and has an elite (perhaps THE elite) backhander. He can snipe top corner, and break ankles. He is an elite shot-tipper as well.
Add in his compete level, faceoff ability, 2-way game, etc, and McD has a long way to go to really be in the conversation if you ask me.
Oh and let's not forget he's won literally everything possible, both in team and personal awards. I would list them all but I'm too lazy. Like I said, it's basically everything except a Memorial Cup (although he took the Océanic to the tournament and was the top scorer)
