Ovechkin 2008 should win this tournament.

Agreed, Likely the best season in the poll, plus a top 2-5 season in the poll. Overall not a big fan of most of these matchups. A ton of really good seasons put head-to-head, as well as some pretty bad ones (relatively speaking) head-to-head.

Sakic 01 deserves a spot here over Cheechoo in the PP riddled season with Thornton feeding him
