The Top 30 Players in the NHL (2018 Edition) - #5

[KoozNetsOff 92]

Suddenly Ovechkin is the 3rd best player in the world? Not sure I buy it but I'll go with Kopitar next.

I agree he shouldn't be 3rd. Should be 2nd after McDavid.

 

[Dion TheFluff]

I agree he shouldn't be 3rd. Should be 2nd after McDavid.

Id argue that he isn't even the 2nd best LWer in league let alone player

 

[tony d]

Karlsson, add Hall.

Did you believe that going into the playoffs though? His performance was amazing and should bump him up, but I don't believe he is better than Crosby now.

Hall is maybe better, he had a better season. Gaudreau is not though, but he's close.

 

[authentic]

Lol he's easily top 5.

Crosby, Malkin, McDavid, Kucherov, Kane, Karlsson, Hedman, Kopitar, which of these players is he easily better than? Then we have MacKinnon and Hall who may stay ahead of him like they were this season.

 

[Critical13]

Karlsson is the easy pick, but Im hoping Kane gets some love next poll. Then Kuch.

Add Matthews

He wasn't even easily better than Kuznetsov this year.

Easily better than Hedman Kucherov. Are you a Tampa fan? Easily better than Karlsson. Easily better than Kane. Easily better than Kopitar. Kopitar...are you serious dude? He's Easily better than all of those by a mile. It's not close!

He's better than Malkin by a good amount.

He's at level with Crosby. McDavid has the advantage at being in his peak years and is 21.

 

[illpucks]

He wasn't even easily better than Kuznetsov this year.

Very easily. Had a huge lead 15+points until his slump to end the season. Vastly outperformed Kuznetsov the point stacker in the playoffs

 

[Dion TheFluff]

Hall is maybe better, he had a better season. Gaudreau is not though, but he's close.

I was thinking Marchand along with Hall

Oh okay you could be right.

The point stacker was every bit as good as Ovechkin throughout the playoffs and outscored him by 5 points. He could've easily won the Conn Smythe.

Not a chance. Ovi was better player in 3 of 4 rounds.

 

[StatisticsAddict99]

Add Scheifele..

 

[XXIV97]

Which Karlsson are we talking about?

 

[djboos22]

I voted Kuch, Mack was my second choice.

 

[pheasant]

E Karlsson.

Add Benn.

 

[Kuz]

E. karlsson add Kuznetsov.

 

[Freedom]

Karlsson

Mackinnon had increadible season but needs to prove it next season to be TOP 10

 

[Sasso09]

Giroux is better than at least 9 Of the 12 options here
