From what I see there are only six choices:

  • Pastrnak
  • Nylander
  • Kaprizov
  • Rantanen
  • Kucherov
  • Panarin

These are their ppgs over the past five regular seasons and four post-seasons in the 2020s:

Pastrnak:
Regular season: 1.21ppg Playoffs: 0.89

Nylander:
Regular season: 1.04 Playoffs: 0.97

Kaprizov:
Regular season: 1.21 Playoffs: 0.63

Kucherov:
Regular season: 1.5 Playoffs: 1.26

Rantanen:
Regular season: 1.24 Playoffs: 1.29

Panarin:
Regular season: 1.27 Playoffs: 0.77

Whats your top 5 or just your top 1?
Poll is flawed, missing Marner.

Rantanen

Everybody else

Pasta (I'd have Marner over him personally)

Playoffs are everything for me personally and this is for going forward, not career or all time which would be pointless comparing any of the other guys to Kuch.
 
Who asks whose the top five then lists 6 people and gives one option...

What could you possibly hope to get from this other than Kucherov is the best winger which he has been for like 5 years undisputedly

And like Nylander? He's not even the best winger on his team
 
Took Pasta for going into next year and Kaprizov is hitting his stride.

Arguments can be made for Kuch as well so one of those 3 guys.

Rants is a solid 4th then a drop off to the next 2 guys for me.
Uhhh its clearly Kucherov until proven otherwise. You dont need to make an argument for him its him.

Matt Tkachuk has also proven to be better than Nylander. Nylander who I am a massive fan of and quite clearly the best player on Toronto. But the poll should have 6 opitions eliminating Kucherov adding M Tkachuk. Who is the 2nd best winger.
 
adding M Tkachuk. Who is the 2nd best winger.
Stats don't back this up. Tkachuk isn't even in the top 10 best producers of 2020s (regular season and playoffs).

Although he is higher than Nylander so maybe I shouldve added him.

Physicality/leadership also is an element that matters you are only basing this off points. Nylander has never scored 100 points. Tkachuk has done it 2 of the last 4 seasons. If you just go by the last 4 seasons he is easily a top 6 winger. Anyways I think they both belong there but Kucherov is in his own tier the real vote is for 2nd.
 
If we are talking right now with not too short of a sample size nor too long of a sample size

Kaprizov
Kucherov
Rantanen
Pasta
Marner

Kucheroc takes a small hit for his post Cup post season runs

Kaprizov has been electric and seems to be at the peak of his prime and was amazing in the 1st round

Pasta over Rantanen for regular season, with post season being more important Rantanen over Pasta

Marner takes a big hit for his lack of all star post season run
