Does Kucherov become the best hockey player in the world if he wins Stanley Cup this year?

[McJesusSaves97]

no chance, incredible player though

 

[BLONG7]

No. He has a supporting cast 20 million over the cap.

Tampa's situation has become sketchy at best.................the league will deal with that...
As for Kucherov, he is a great great player.....but not a generational type of guy. I think this will be a short lived hype...

 

[Fataldogg]

He would be the best player on a great team. He probably has the best supporting cast of anyone over the last 15 years.

McDavid was steamrolled by the Jets, who were steamrolled by Montreal...

McDavid played these guys named "Jets" and "Montreal" one on one?

 

[Elysian]

McDavid played these guys named "Jets" and "Montreal" one on one?

That's the impression I get from Edmonton fans.

 

[AfroThunder396]

The Stanley Cup has nothing to do with individual player quality. It's a team award.

 

[Danrs112]

Overrated. Gets all of his points playing in weak divisions. Move him to the North and see how he does.

This moronic consensus about mcdavid being best player is just ridiculous. And it's not a kucherov either, the fact that nobody just not see that blake colman is the player of lemieux/gretzky tier is what baffling me...
Kucherov and david are even more or less

Even crazier is Coleman plays with the Jan -the 2nd coming of Bobby Orr -Rutta

He already is the 2nd best player after McDavid ahead of the likes of MacKinnon and Draisaitl.

 

[rocketdan9]

nope

Kucherov is not even TBL best player/offensive talent. That goes to Point

I disagree

TBL would be worst off without Point than Kucherov

 

[42]

I disagree

TBL would be worst off without Point than Kucherov

So you're saying Point is the 2nd best player
Well, I see your disagree and raise you my disagree. Point is awesome but Kucherov is better.

 

[Vikingstad]

Nah, Kucherov plays like a warrior, and McDavid plays like a teen cheerleader...

People really have the memory of a goldfish huh? Remember when playoffs weren't going kucherovs way so he boarded a guy from behind? And the other time he kicked someone while heading to the bench? Guy is a great player but he's a sore loser

 

[kp61c]

nope

NO

 

[rocketdan9]

NO

yes

TBL would hurt more without Point and not Kucherov

thats reality

 

[kp61c]

thats reality

the same was said of Johnson when Triplets was a thing.

 

[GeeoffBrown]

I don't think it works like that, where if Kucherov wins the cup, he gets a couple extra overall points

 

[HowSweeeedeItIs]

He has another gear for the playoffs that other stars are missing. McDavid is still clearly the best player, but Kucherov must be one of the most adaptable players. No matter how you defend against him he figures out a way.

for regular season. Not playoffs

to be the best of best you have to excel in both seasons

 

[WarriorofTime]

Put McDavid on these teams like the Avalanche and Lightning and he'd win the Cup and Smythe, easily.

McDavid's played like 4 playoff games in four years and had 4 "well actually these don't really count because HFBoards said so" points, let's chill on any bold proclamations about his inabilities come postseason. It's still hockey. It's still NHL players.

 

[User9992]

nope

Kucherov is not even TBL best player/offensive talent. That goes to Point

But even in his best season Point (92) got outscored by Kucherov (128) by 36 Points.

Kuch is on another level when he is healthy. He is not on 100% currently but still the best player in this year's Playoffs.

Ya ok buttercup

 

[TheOtherOne]

Depends which attribute he drops those extra points into.
