Confirmed Signing with Link: [NSH] F Steven Stamkos signs with the Predators (4 years, $8M AAV)

Sure...whatever makes you happy.

Maybe you can start a petition that MacKinnon UNFAIRLY won the Hart trophy and it really TRULY belongs to '38 empty net goals' Kucherov for all those factors that you're going to come up with.

Here let me help you - there were also quite a few occastions where Jonas Johansson could have passed the puck to Kucherov at the beginnig of the season last year but decided to leave it for his d-man instead. IF he would have passed it directly to Kucherov it is WAY too obvious that he would have went around ALL of the opposing players in front of him and scored!! So yeah, Stamkos sucks and is proving it this year so that has a direct impact on last year's season so there is no other choice but to say : Kucherov > MacKinnon.

The world must be told the truth!!!!

All it really came down to is we were a terrible team without Kucherov last year. Wouldn't have even been close to the playoffs. Every single guy on the team other than kucherov was having a bad year uo until the TDL, and Kucherov drug us to the playoffs pretty much single handedly. That was always the argument. By the definition of the award, it was hard to he more valuable than that.

Its a Canadian born center vs a Russian Winger. There was no chance they were going to give him that award.

I remember reading shit like this half way through the season.

It just makes you laugh.

It's weird how Lightning fans consistently assume that the Avs were fine without MacKinnon last year when talking up Kucherov.

It's not about being fine. We looked like a lottery team with one guy who outscored the problems and inflated everyone else's numbers.

Oh. One exception to that was Hagel. He was good all year.
