Player Discussion: Nikita Kucherov - Part 3

[VinikToWinIt]

Kind of insane that he is outpacing everyone in the league (again) and is +1600(!) to win the Hart today.

Meanwhile, MacKinnon is +325 with 5 less goals and a lower point pace. For laughs, he also has 5 more empty net points than Kucherov.

No respect I tell ya, no respect.

4 games less than Mackinnon and 2 less points. If he was Canadian he would be talked about 24/7 but he is Russian so we must discriminate against all rusians because of the war they didnt choose.

Kucherov is the best player in the league not named McDavid. It's been that way for years but the Canadian outlets won't budge on that.

Funny enough, assuming he keeps the lead this season - Kucherov will have outpaced McDavid in 3 of their last 6 healthy seasons.

I dunno. I catch a fair number of TSN/SN broadcasts and they all gush about 86’s skills.

I don't disagree but as the best player not named McDoodle? Doubt it. 2022 was the prime example. Avs were ushered in and talked about as a new dynasty before they even beat us lol. It was and has been all MacKinnon before Kucherov.

Yes but was he healthy or was he "healthy." Because Edmonton fans want you to believe he's playing with broken legs and doing it while Kuch is 100%. They always suspect he's injured... maybe he's just not scoring more than the #1 guy? Lol.
