I was coming in here with all kinds of names in my head but christ that's a BIG top ten.
Really easy choices for 9 players. They all belong
Maybe Joe Thornton?
Edit: Kopitar or Bergeron are the easy answer
1.Matthews
2.Marner
3.Nylander
4.Kessel
5.Kadri
6.Sundin
7.JVR
8.Lupul
9.Komarov
10.Clarkson

If its since 2013, Marchand has to be in consideration. 9th in points and 7th in goals in that time frame, leads his franchise in SHG and OTG all time AND the NHL in that span. Im not saying hes top five but hes 100% top 10.

I Think this is since 05 not 13
I have stamkos 10th ahead if Marchand as Stamkos was super elitr from his second season and has 1200+ career pts since the 05 lockout
Seems to be a "who scores most points " list? I have Barkov and Bergeron up there. Barkov is debatable, but Bergeron is a must. 2-way play wins cups.

To bad he only won 1 cup in which he wasnt even the best C on his team.
There isnt a single player bergeron can go ahead of on the OPs top 9 as a player.
You can place him 10th and boot out Thornton/Stamkos/Datsyuk (idk why since he was an superstar version of bergeron at the wing).

How many awards do you think 4-6 are still capable of getting? Kucherov, Draisaitl, and Mackinon have combined for 10 major awards. Ovi has 18.

OV has 9 rockets outside of that he has 1 calder + 1 ross + 3 harts + 3 lindsays + 1 smythe.
If Kucherov can add 1-2 ross + 1-2 hart + 1-2 lindsays he wont be viewed as a worse player all time than OV by much if at all
Hed be at 3/4 rosses, 2/3 harts, 2/3 lindsays. Best case scenerio hed have 10 ross/hart/lindsay/smythes compared to OVs 8 & Crosbys 9, worst case he is at 7 if he can add just 1 more of each.
Kuch/Mack/Drai having 10-12 years of being top 3-5 players with major awards would be Crosby/OV level dominance.
It wont be easy but these 3 have been dominating the NHl from 2017, 2018 and 2019 respectively

Stamkos over panarin in that stamkos came in at 18, panarin joined the nhl at 23, that’s an extra 4/5 years of nhl

I had Stammer at 10, but put Matthews in over him. I like giving it to Stammer more now that I think aobut it for his Cups.
Yes, if you ignore NINE ROCKETS Ovi only has more than double the hardware of Kucherov.
Kucherov would essentially have to add an entirely separate HOF career starting right now. And that probably isn’t even enough.
You just cant rely on trophies to try to compete with Ovi. His individual trophy case blows away anybody not named Gretzky or Lemieux.

Let’s say no Mario, no Gretz- who else would be there from the earlier period?
