Alexander is the better player. Sydney has better talent around him but Alexander is the all around better player.
It will be a good thing to see these guys going back in forth at each other for many years to come.
that is a common misconception, his talent is not better around him
only washington and TRUE HOCKEY FANS know of mike green, niclas backstrom, and alexander semin
the talent levels on both teams is pretty even
if you want a explosive goal scorer, go with ovechkin
if you want a great playmaker, go with crosby
crssby is averaging more points per game during their careers, ovechkin more goals
heck malkin might be better them both of them but he's doing his "disappearing act" like he did against detroit last year
