McDavid and Crosby can be debated as borderline generational talents (I don't think either are). And Iginla certainly was not a generational talent.
Such a ridiculously overused title.

I agree that McDavid has a long way to go before deserving the label, but Crosby? What more would aid need to do for you to accept that? I think both him and ovie deserve the generational label though Crosby more so. Hes literally won everything at every level. Hes an incredibly well rounded player. Definitely deserving. Ovie has had ups and downs but has taken the cup now and all things considered is in conversation for best goal scorer of all time. Both generatioal.
Iginla I would say isnt but is very close. He was definitely snubbed by the NHL top 100 list, on which he deserves to reside. Generational I would say is a stretch.
