you people need to look beyond good OHL seasons and realize that its a different story in the NHL
so perry had a 130+ pt season, so what?
since this is the leafs forum, ill use a local example
DAVID LING
the guy had a 135pt season in the OHL in '95.....and has since turned into a career 8 pointer in the NHL
so with that said, you cant make any predictions based on perry's stallar year, since that can all change verrrry soon
You don't think Perry gets abused? There is not a game that goes by where somebody doesn't torpedo themselves against him. He receives it just the same as Crosby.
Yes Perry gets abused, but not nearly the same as crosby. We can wonder now who is the better player between the two, personally I couldn't chose, and I'm a huge Knights fan, Perry has come a long way since Hunter took over, and Nash left the team for the NHL. I say give them atleast five more years, and we can be sure who is the better player. Right now I wouldn't mind having either of them on my team.

I wouldn't mind having either one as well. I didn't realize how talented Perry really was. I always knew he was a great leader, but kid's also got some mad skills.
I was really impressed with his shot; passes; moves; discipline; and poise.
It will be real interesting to follow these guys when they make their jump to the NHL. They will play many games against each other. Their names will often be mentioned in the same breath particularly during awards nominations; scoring titles; new records?
And best of all, meeting each other in the Stanley Cup Finals.
I would say, these guys are the start to the new generation with the last generation being Gretzky and company.
Hey Leafs, can we also have someone special to start the new generation?
Last generation you didn't give us much, so how about making it that much more special this time around? Thanx in Advance!

Yes he does but he doesn't play on a one line team, if Perry doesn't score the Knights can win, if Crosby doesn't the Oceanic cannot.
They said it on Sportsnet while doing the game, after talking to Gretzky about would he like to coach Crosby, and he said if the Coyote's win the lottery he's taking Crosby.

what does that have to do with abuse?
besides, thats why gretzky had guys like mcsourley on his line, cuz he DID get abused when opponents had the chance.
and theres no way you can say the Q is a defense 1st league
The difference between Perry and Crosby is monumental. If Perry improves his skating and can keep up in the NHL he will top out at a Jason Allison type player. Crosby on the otherhand is a phenom.
It's not even close, no GM in the league would consider taking Perry over Crosby. It's silly.

Same as no one in the right mind would take Daigle over Pronger, Kariya, Bertuzzi, Koivu, ...
Or Chirs Gratton before Kariya, Bertuzzi, Koivu, Arnott, ...

Crosby has to get tougher, or change his game.
Lots of people thought Pronger was better than Daigle at the time. Same thing with Gratton vs. Kariya.
I doubt there are many GMs who think Perry is better than Crosby.
Question: If you were a GM would you trade Crosby straight-up for Perry?
And why do you think Crosby has to change his style? Dino Ciccarelli, Theo Fleury, and Doug Gilmour are little guys who had great careers and took a lot of physical abuse.

No I'd take Crosby in a heart beat.
Because they didn't play like they were big. Gilmour was dirty, Fleury was shifty, and Dino was good with his stick.
