Yes… both Art Ross winners and both dominant in the playoffs

Kucherov’s peak is better than any other Russian player so the answer is yes

I think Malkin was a bit better play driver and did it with lesser linemates. His 11-12 season is pretty similar production relative to the league to Kucherov’s last year, though he missed games. I would also consider his ‘09 play offers better than Kucherov’s ‘20 and ‘21 for similar reasons. Kucherov has been a bit more consistent though, and if he has another huge year this year, maybe it’s harder to take Malkin for peak over only one year in a row.

Anything but "very close" would be going too far in either direction. I think there's good arguments either way, although I lean Kucherov.

I still take Malkin by a hair but it could go either way
