This is what I was going to say. Despite all the talk of "generational players" every year, the only players who have done what a "generational player" is expected to do--show up and change the game immediately, consistently, and irrevocably--are Sid and Ovi, and even both of them had major stumbles due to injury or coaching/"mental issues" (whatever the fuck that means) in their first several years. But the fact remains, no one aside from Sid and Ovi has dominated the entire league (not just rookies or new players) from the outset in any consistent way from day 1 for more than a year since them over 10 years ago, so the hockey media is desperate for it.

I haven't seen that much talk. I think people are actually pretty good at drawing a line between "generational" and elite franchise players. I do think McDavid has the potential for being generational. That said, when Crosby&Ovechkin won their Art Rosses, Gretzky wasn't still playing.

Also, my money is on Stamkos this year.
