I'd argue that Ovechkin is also a generational talent, purely because he's one of the best scorers of all time, but yeah, right now it's just him and Crosby. He's already 33rd all time in goals scored with 525, and literally the only other person drafted after the year 2000 in the top 100 is Nash, at 99th with 393.

It occurred to me shortly after posting the comment that it may start wank over whether Ovi and Malkin may be generational talents as well. I've certainly heard them called such, though to a lesser extent than Crosby.

I don't disagree with the argument for Ovi as you present it. Although I am a bit conflicted over whether generational players are Highlanders and 'There Can Only Be One' as above anon has said. I guess it depends on who you ask and a lot of pundits last year were firmly on the side of 'only Crosby right now (and previously 3 other Canadians)'!

Hey, there are technically two Highlanders, so.

...actually, three, if you count the cartoon.

If you're including both Ovi and Sid, then you've got to throw Malkin in there too- him and Sid are the only two active players with PPG over 1, and I think people really underestimate how much he's been slowed down by injuries.

There are also some still active players whose PPG were over 1 back when they were Malkin and Crosby's age, but slowed down in their 30s.

I would argue Ovechkin as, at least, a generational goalscorer, if not the best of all time. He has a real shot to be first all time in goals.

I don't think McDavid is in the discussion yet, and if he is I would argue that's media bias. He hasn't even played a full season, he hasn't even played a consecutive half season.
