What does Kucherov need to do to surpass Ovechkin and become the greatest Russian player to ever play in the NHL?

Might have to do an awards sweep.
Like Ovechkin and McDavid did.

This is how you show you're the best of the best.

Assuming Kucherov wins the Art-Ross/Hart/Lindsey this season (most deserving anyways), what else would he need to add to his resume to be able to catch OV and become the greatest Russian player to play in the league?

His playoff resume is already above OV's and you could now argue that his peak also is.
hypothetically given the choice ....I would pick kucherov over OV if I could have one of them on my team

Olympic gold.

That was mostly a joke but I think Kucherov took too long to become the player he is for his legacy to be veiwed better than ovechkin, when ovi entered the league he was scoring 100 points right away.

Still the second best player of the Mcdavid era

If he can string together 3 more seasons like this I think he can pass him. He has already won 2 Art Rosses in the McDavid era (Crosby only won 2 in the McDavidless era.) But I doubt casual fans will ever accept that Kucherov has passed him.
