ESPN's latest NHL season projections have sparked discussions, particularly concerning the anticipated performance of veteran player Sidney Crosby.
While fans are eagerly anticipating Connor Bedard's debut, ESPN's estimate of 90 points for his first year has drawn attention. Simultaneously, the projection of only 89 points for Crosby raises questions. This projection appears questionable, given Crosby's previous season where he tallied 93 points, but clearly signals that he is declining with age as he is now 36 years old.
Amidst growing excitement for Bedard's potential, Crosby's enduring skill should not be underestimated.
