For 19 year olds he drops to 54th all time, and 11th among all active NHLers
So his 18 year old season was certainly generational. His 19 year old is clearly a regression, but still ~ a top 50 best season ever for a 19 year old in PPG
McKinnon was 111th as a 19 year old in PPG.....

Pens also had a prime Gonchar on the PP with Sid in his rookie year.
Add Recchi, Leclair and Palffy for part or all of the season.
Mario played a part of the season too.
That team wasn't good, but Sid was put in a spot to succeed. Bedard isn't Sid good, but the situation is much different.
