2 players had 9 votes and 2 had 8 so I'll do a quick 1 or 2 day 4 player runoff before moving onto the 12th poll
Prime Karlsson with the sens was incredible. His peak was high but he couldn’t sustain it. Now he’s underrated and people forget how good he once was.There's people that would rather build a team around Karlsson than Chara.....?
Questionable

Not comparable to Chara or Datsyuk however.Prime Karlsson with the sens was incredible. His peak was high but he couldn’t sustain it. Now he’s underrated and people forget how good he once was.
I mean that cup run Karlsson took Ottawa on which was one goal away from beating the stanley cup champs is far better than any run Chara has done.There's people that would rather build a team around Karlsson than Chara.....?

Except Chara has a cup.I mean that cup run Karlsson took Ottawa on which was one goal away from beating the stanley cup champs is far better than any run Chara has done.
I mean Karlsson would have won a cup with that dominant Bruins team too...Except Chara has a cup.
What's better, a good cup run and coming up short or a good cup run and winning a cup?
Part of the reason the team was dominant was the Chara/Seidenberg pairing.I mean Karlsson would have won a cup with that dominant Bruins team too...

East Coast bias maybe? Personally I’ve never gotten it but I remember a Keith vs Chara poll sometime last year where Chara won.Chara over Keith is crazy
Right, and I'm saying it's weird to say that a "cup run" which resulted in losing in the ECF is "far better" than what Chara has done. Is Karlsson more offensively talented? No doubt. That said, the Chara/Seidenberg pairing was absolutely bananas in shutting down opposing teams.Neither defines how good a player actually is. It is a team game after all. And the question is best player, not which player has more cups.
I disagree. The window was shorter but the peak was super, super high. He completely controlled the ice during his sens run every shift and drug them through the playoffs himself. He was never the same after the injury though.Not comparable to Chara or Datsyuk however.
