Rantanen. Rings matter. Go back to game 4 against the Oilers. Yeah, it’s Rantanen all day every day.
Worst take ever. As Avs fan, Rants is great when Mackinnon has been out.The one who doesnt have mackinnon on the 1st PP unit
Pastrnak has less supportIt's easily Kaprizov. There isn't a winger in the game that has less support then him.
Avs have two players, including his C with more points than him.
Rossi is a hell of a step up from Rask, but he's not MacKinnon.
Wild have a couple of great defenders, with Ok to good offense. But none are Maker leading the league in scoring.
Zuccerello was a career high 61 point winger in his prime in NY. Next to Kaprizov in Minnesota at 37 he's a PPG player.
His best support is Boldy, who is turning into a star in his own right, but they only play together on the PP this year. And last year when they played together it was the best line in the league.
No winger in the league outside of maybe Kucherov impacts his team more. Wild go as far as Kaprizov and their goaltending take them.
I read this post and was confused why you started talking about the Jets AHL team before I realized Rantanen’s nickname is moose.I think what KK does given his team is a bit more impressive, but Moose's track record and playoff history are damn impressive.
On a neutral team I probably take KK by a nose, but they are both top 5 wingers in terms of a "now" and "record" - Kuch, Pasta, Bread, Moose and KK is tier 1 for me, all apologies to regular season Mitch, healthy Stone and the guys in Florida who may be the best winger duo in the league (and trio for that matter).
