FILE - In this Dec. 10, 2016, file photo, Pittsburgh Penguins center Sidney Crosby (87) waits during the team's NHL hockey game against the Tampa Bay Lightning in Tampa, Fla. No matter where the Edmonton Oilers travel, captain Connor McDavid is confronted by the same questions and comparisons to the opposing team's star. In Buffalo, it's Jack Eichel, who was selected second in the 2015 draft behind McDavid. In Toronto, it's Auston Matthews, the No. 1 pick last June. In Pittsburgh, it's Crosby, the player the NHL's "Next Generation" crop of youngsters must all be compared against. (AP Photo/Chris O'Meara, File)
