How many points will Crosby finish his career with?
Summer topic. Obviously, health is the biggest factor as well as will he be signing another contract and how long will his play hold up.
Currently has 1,502 points, 36 years old, 2 years left on his contract, 1.26 PPG for his career (1.13 last season)

If he gets to 1,900 he's definitely dragging it out for however long it takes to get ahead of Jagr.

I'd find it incredible if he ends up top 3 all time considering his injury history
that said, I never really thought about this but man are his injuries super unlucky because he might be one of the best conditioned players in history. He might not want to play past 40, but he could probably continue to play well into his 40s from a physical standpoint (and of course from a talent standpoint too)
I feel like he and Lebron have had very similar careers: highly touted as a teenager, success early on, mid-career discord but then a long and legacy-defining third act

It all comes to an end for players eventually, but Crosby is not aging at the same rate most hockey players (or athletes in general, for that matter) typically do. Much like Ron Francis, Steve Yzerman, and a very select group of others, Crosby is an exceptional passer with tremendous vision of the ice and the ability to anticipate the play like few others who have ever played the game. A typical loss of speed for a player his age won't eliminate his effectiveness.
He is a good bet to be an effective player until age 40 if not a year or two beyond that, and he is a good bet to approach or even exceed 1900 career points.

What if he wants to go out like Beliveau though...and not just kind of waste away on the ice like Yzerman...?

yeah Sid could play another ten years at a second/third line level for the last 4-6 imo, but I don't see him wanting to. Just depends when he feels like he's had enough

Amazing that he played all 82 games last year.
I say four more years at an 80-90 point per pace

I see Sid going to Trottier route. He loves hockey so much and I see him relishing in a less role at the end of his career.
But I think it depends on what the pens look like as a team

Trottier was also in huge financial distress...forcing him to extend his career...

Perhaps, I can make a list of reasons of why he wouldn't and why he would...I think both sides have a really good case...

I assume Crosby also has expectations for himself. If he physically can't contribute and play at the level he expects of himself, then I imagine he calls it quits. I don't know what that age will be for him.True, but Sid likes hockey more than like…anyone?

I see this. If he doesn't see himself as a 1C he calls it a careerI assume Crosby also has expectations for himself.

Sid will play out his contract, then go play for the Canadians as was always his plan and dream since he was a kid.
