Maybe Crosby never had a concussion in the first place; fractured vertebrae.
If thats the case, no increased risk in the future, he's immediately the #1 fantasy option again.

Wow. Talk about drinking the coolaid. He's been back for 4 games!!! He is still a head case. To say that he back to being a top 3 player is a little premature. Yes, he is good when healthy. But he hasen't played against Krejci's elbow yet... . I traded away Crosby earlier this season for Giroux and Getzlaf. If I still had him, I would be shopping him. Crosby's value is so inflated right now.

Don't be the fool holding Crosby when the ride stops. The next concussion could be the end. Cash in while you can.

There's people on the boards that are grossly overvaluing guys like McGinn, Bartschi, Hagelin and others despite not being proven at their level of play. In Crosby's case his per-game production is proven. Health is the only obstacle.

But I think that it is still something that can be overvalued.

Health is a huge part of a players value. Hemsky, Spezza, and Gaborik have great PPG numbers, but their health is the problem.

I agree health plays a factor but in a battle of the band aid boys the aforementioned players don't even come close to Crosby. If I'm rolling with the risk give me Crosby any day of the week.

I traded Crosby away about 3 weeks ago...I got a good return (Backes, Eberle, Pacioretty and a 1st round for SC and a 5th round) BUT I am regretting it. Crosby has 9 points in 4 games. That is hard to watch!! Now, I'm not saying that I want Crosby to get injured again, but my trade will go down a little easier if he ends up being more of a band-aid boy than an iron-man.

When did I ever say to trade him for anyone with a pulse? Don't put words into my mouth...

He's played 4 games... I'd temper expectations before you blow your load prematurely. I bet you were saying the exact same thing the last time he came back and scored 4 points in his return.
