Is peak Kucherov equal to peak Malkin?

[I Hate Blake Coleman]

How does Kucherov have stronger Art Rosses over better competition? The gap between Malkin and the rest of the NHL was larger in points per game and actual points despite missing 7 games, and that’s against the 2nd-5th-10th-30th scorers not just the immediate top end.

Because McDavid has been the competition and he's better than arguably anyone Malkin ever played against.

Malkin was simply bigger and better.

We’re not discussing their love lives.

Even excluding McDavid Malkin’s 2011-12 was more dominant over the rest of the NHL from the top scorers to the bottom.

I'm not saying peak Kucherov is on peak McDavid level, i'm saying peak Kucherov is on normal McDavid level. So when the previous poster said peak Malkin was on Crosby's level, I interpreted as peak Malkin = normal Crosby level, not peak Crosby. Because if you think peak Malkin is at peak Crosby get outta here.

Peak Malkin is definitely close to peak Crosby. And his ‘12 is better than any of Crosby’s full seasons and ‘09 is the best playoffs between them.

Well that's only because he's always played on Crosby's team

Both are score. Very close score.

I wish we lived in the true alternate reality where Malkin had a healthy career and was widely viewed as the best of that generation’s Big Three.

I feel like it’s been long forgotten that through 2011-2012, his trophy case and accolades dwarfed Crosby’s:

1 Hart apiece with two additional second place finishes to Crosby’s one third place finish

1 Pearson/Lindsay apiece

2 Art Rosses to 1

1 Conn Smythe to 0

3 First-Team All-Star nods to 1
