I really, really hate this claim. When Malkin was at his inarguable best last season, easily the best he's ever played in his career (while flanked by a 40 goal scorer), he still wasn't close to Sid. When Sid returned last season, playing with inferior wingers, at less than 100% he was still better PPG-wise than Malkin, despite the incredible season Malkin was having. And Sid is better defensively, better on faceoffs, more disciplined in general. Malkin is an incredible player, but he's just not at Sid's level, not even at his best.
