Nikita Kucherov is the clear favorite for the Art Ross Trophy

[User9992]

will kuch hit 100 assists too?

Doubtful. But 90+ for Winger are such incredible numbers!

Nah, Taylor.Hall won the Hart a few years ago, so whoever lost out that year deserves it - obviously.

Scorers 2-5 on Tampa: 298 total points
Colorado: 292
Edmonton: 313

Not sure why everyone tries to focus on #2 only. You get 5 guys on the ice at a time.

Good one that is funny. He fell off a cliff after that.

Rantanen and Draisaitl are also much better than Point so this isn’t exactly fair. Kucherov wouldn’t be outscoring either of them by 50 pts if they were on his team.

Kuch would have even more points with them. That's a point!

+/- is a team stat.

In your opinion. However the players see it as important. As they often refer to it. And imo it’s indicative of a player’s contribution without the puck. And the mvp should be more than just points. So add points and plus/minus. Doing this helps determine the D who contribute at both ends of the ice too.

So incredible its never been done before.

Not just my opinion. +/- also depends on how good your linemates are. It's not an individual stat at all.

That means less than nothing.

93 assists now...

Damn he might do it.

 

[Wester]

Now 51 if i count correctly

 

[DrMartinVanNostrand]

Kucherov another 3-point game. No empty net points (yet) either.

 

[Gnome17]

Kucherov is just destined to win it..3 points today, all three very very simple assissts that any NHL player could have gotten.

Thanks for correcting me. Edited!

Man more NHL players should do that then - weird that they don't.

 

[Albatros]

93 assists already, 5 games left. He can reach that 100.

 

[CN8]

First time I’ll say it. This race is over

Go look at the assissts and see if you agree.

 

[hamzarocks]

Its over

Kucherov takes the ross + hart and should get lindsay

This year moves him 1 season away from a better peak+prime than Crosby/OV/Malkin group and only behind Mcdavid since his breakout

Seperates him from federov, patty kane, Datsyuk, forsberg, lindros etc by a large margin

He might just end the best russian ever and top 10ish player all time if he can put 1 more season like this + 2-3 additional top 10 player in the league seasons

No definitely I just think every other NHL player is dumb.

 

[Fantomas]

Should definitely win the Hart because the Lighting are otherwise trash. Carrying the team on his back with Vasilevsky having a stunningly bad season.

 

[Wester]

Most of the players don't make that move on the defender like that on the first one

 

[Gnome17]

Okay, I have to disagree with you on that one.

 

[DFC]

As of right now, the only players to ever hit 100 assists are literally the best three players in history (depending where you rank Howe). McDavid will almost certainly enter that group, and, honestly, I believe he's on that tier.

Kucherov isn't on that tier, but my God, what a season.

He should sweep the awards if he gets the ross (which looks like he will now)
