Well, that's ridiculous. Sure, Ovechkin is not Wayne Gretzky, because who the hell is or ever will be as impactful like that again in our lifetimes? But it is disingenuous to say Ovechkin has not affected his teammates in a similarly positive way.
Players who play with the best goal-scorer of all time benefit from it. It's as simple as that.
