I do agree on Sid vs McDavid for ages 35+. But Mcdavid is 28. He needs to make things happen in the next 7 years. He also probably passes Sid in some major individual categories before he turns 35. He needs 2-3 cups to put himself ahead of Sid, but no question the stats favour McDavid.

Sid is a tank. Physically a smaller Lebron James. Even with speed gone his smarts and strength and skill can make him elite even with losing a step. Sid might be dominate at 40, commitment is that next level that very few have ever had.
