After McDavid, Who's the Best Peak Player of the Current Generation?

[authentic]

I guess with that logic, you have mackinnon ahead of Crosby?

Different eras

Pretty tough to pick.. I think MacK, Kucherov and Drai are all right there.

Makar is amazing but a step down with pretender Matthews.

Tough to say Makar is a step down, he’s been better in the playoffs than MacKinnon. I still take MacKinnon narrowly due to his play since the beginning of last season while still being a beast in the playoffs himself.

Why is MacKinnon ahead of drasaitl,

MacKinnon 50+ goal seasons - 1
MacKinnon 100+ pt seasons - 2

Drasaitl 50 goal seasons - 3
Drasaitl 100 pt seasons - 5

Isn’t this about peak single season?

Impossible to determine if you don't give a definition to what "generation" means in this context. Is it players born in the 90s? Id argue Karlsson peak wise stacks up pretty well against the players in the poll for example(it's certainly debatable if he or Makar, so far, peaked higher) and it's only 3 or so years between him and Kuch(whom I would pick out of those in the poll and likely either way, but then again it's only 3 years between Karlsson and Crosby and so on).

Like why would Kucherov+McDavid be in the same generation if Kucherov+Karlsson arent?

It's easily Kucherov. Stole two rosses in the Mcdavid era. Also his playoff resume puts him a tier above the rest. The disrespect he gets because he's a sneaky assassin and not super flashy, is ridiculous. You ain't taking peak Matthews for a cup run over Kuch.
