Nathan MacKinnon 1000 Career Points

[PenguinSuitedUp]

This is a LOL argument we've heard too many time from Oilers fans. To reference playoffs when you didnt win a Cup compared to the guy who did.

Would you rather have the team/player that wins the Cup in 16-18-20 games or the team/player that loses in 25 games, but obviously has more games to pad his individual stats?

Cup > Points all day every day and MacKinnon won his team the Cup when it mattered. Game Set Match until McDavid gets one.

McDavid would more than likely have won the Cup with the Avs back when MacKinnon won it. This is why Cups being more important than points becomes completely invalid when it’s used in a black and white context.

Yup. Remember when the Hawks fan swore up and down Toews was better than Malkin or Crosby because at the time the Hawk had one 3 cups. Lmao. Lord that did not age well.

I’m not sure why anything other than last year’s playoffs is relevant to a conversation about last year, but regardless, thinking that performing worse in fewer games because the team around him was better is a greater feat is an LOL argument.

Honestly McDavid’s playoff stats are just ridonkolous though

So crazydunkulous

Cap is a thing. Insert McDavid's 12.5M and remove MacKinnons 6.3M

Any combination of $6.2M here is gone. Take your pick, but sure in make believe fantasy NHL 25 GM no cap mode, sure.

Burakovsky - $4.9M
Kadri - $4.5M
Toews - $4.1M
Lehkonen - $1.15M
Helm - $1M

A. Were talking about 21-22 to present day where MacKinnon has been on par or superior since. I am putting stock into the best hockey team we've seen in nearly 40 years winning the Cup in 20 games and MacKinnon being the guy with 1-1 in the clinching game winning 2-1. McDavid willed his team to Game 7 in 25 games putting up a billion points only to put up a goose egg when it mattered.

2. CUP > everything. Plain and simple. Thats why we play the game.

III. Also the insecurity of Oilers fans having to rush into this thread is a LOL in itself also.

This is kinda tantamount to Canucks fans arguing Hughes over Makar. It's not correct, but in a small enough sample the argument is had none the less.

McDavid is still better. MacK is making the argument real. And maybe with more time the trend stays as is. Maybe it doesn't.

3.75 seasons and a Cup is a "small enough sample"?

MacKinnon is the better even strength player.
McDavid is the better PP/play only against junk Canadian teams player.
MacKinnon is the more clutch player.
McDavid has the higher jersey number showing his insecurity.
MacKinnon has the larger balls.
McDavid has the higher voice.
MacKinnon has better diet.
McDavid is the MVP when loses.
MacKinnon is the MVP when winning

Using this logic, then Craig Adams > McDavid.

Here we go with the Giroux versus Crosby convos again.
