Because he showed the potential of past NHL greats such as Lemieux, Howe, and Gretzky, while its likely no player will ever reach the numbers these former players put out, Crosby was supposed to come close.

Who is the the best player in the NHL?
I would say the best player in the NHL is Sidney Crosby of the Pittsburgh Penguins. While Crosby has less MVP awards Crosby has two things Ovechkin has never came close to gettin a Stanley Cup ring and an Olympic gold medal. At the age of 15 people were already calling him the next Wayne Gretzky, saying no matter where he goes in the NHL that team will become successful. That was a true statement. The 2005 draft was nicknamed the Sidney Crosby Sweepstakes, the Pittsburgh Penguins won that sweepstakes. Obtaining the #1 overall draft pick. Before drafting Sidney Crosby the Penguins were considered one of the leagues worst teams. Crosby changed that. In his 2nd the Penguins reached the playoffs for the first time in 5 years. Crosby was also awarded the MVP award that year. The next year Crosby lead the Penguins to their first Stanley Cup Finals since 1992 losing in 6 games to the Detroit Red Wings. That wouldn't stop Crosby from trying to obtain his ultimate goal of winning the Stanley Cup. The Next year he was back in the finals and this time losing wasn't an option. The Penguins beat the Red Wings in 7 games. The next year Crosby competed in the Olympics for Canada hoping to win the gold medal at home in Canada. Canada reached the gold medal game to play the red hot US team. The game ended with a game winning overtime goal scored by none other than Sidney Crosby. Sidney Crosby has so many accomplishments at such a young age (23) that I have no Idea how anyone does not consider him the best player in the NHL.
