Penguins' Sidney Crosby Named NHL's Most Complete Player in 2023-24 NHLPA Player Poll

Pittsburgh Penguins star Sidney Crosby is still performing at a high level at 36 years old, and he continues to garner respect from his peers.

Crosby was voted the NHL's most complete player in the annual NHLPA poll released Wednesday. He's won the honor in all five years that the Players' Association voted on the category.

Crosby received 38.4 percent of the votes, beating out Aleksander Barkov of the Florida Panthers (14.6 percent) by a wide margin.

A total of 639 NHLPA members participated in the poll this season, which is the ninth time it has been conducted. Players from all 32 teams were surveyed anonymously during the first half of the regular season.

Crosby also finished second (13.6 percent) to Ryan O'Reilly of the Nashville Predators (14.5 percent) in "the player you'd most want to take a faceoff on your team."

He also finished second but well behind Edmonton Oilers star Connor McDavid as "the forward you'd want on your team if you needed to win one game," earning 11.6 percent of the votes to McDavid's 48.7 percent.

Behind Crosby's leadership, the Penguins are 36-30-12 this season. Pittsburgh remains in the hunt for a wild-card spot as the regular season winds down.
