I don’t think Skinner will be playing with McDavid when they can continue to run RNH - McDavid - Hyman.

Skinner likely plays with Drai/Arvidsson.

Don't you think McDavid's ego will demand that he can play with Skinner? That way the Oilers could have Nuge center the 3rd line as well.

As a Habs fan, as much as I love Suzuki and Laine, I'm not sure either qualifies as superstar.

As a Sharks fan, Celebrini isn't one yet and Granlund never has been, never will be one.

Well maybe not Suzuki, but Laine was a supersstar for sure back in 2018. 4th youngest NHL player to score 100 goals is superstar level for sure.
Celebrini was called an Alpha and compared to Thornton and Jagr, it's clear he's going to be a superstar. And Granlund was briefly a superstar back when he beat Ovechkin's and Malkin's Russia with that lacrosse goal before he came to the NHL.

Laine was on the way to becoming one, but really fell off. Suzuki might be trending that way, but I'm not sure he has THAT high of upside.

Celebrini hasn't played an NHL game. He should become one, but not yet. Granlund, come on. No.

On a scale of Mulletman threads, this is a 3/10.

Why would he want or care? He's already got a 50+ goal guy on his wing who complements his game already. And McDavid is proven he can score 60. Skinner doesn't seem well suited to McDavid. I think Draisaitl and Arvidsson are better linemates.

Because Eichel got Skinner to 40 goals and McDavid resents Eichel. It's only natural for McDavid to want to outdo what Eichel was able to do.

If this thread is 3/10 Mulletman, this comment is 1/10.

You used to be so much funnier. I guess everyone has a prime and you're like a superstar hockey player approaching his 40s. Maybe a couple of good stretches, but generally just running out of steam.

Pucklington · Sunday at 9:22 AM

Draisaitl and Arvidsson

Stammer and Forsberg as a proxy for Nashville as a whole. Even if they don't play together they're the team I'm most curious for this season.
They've committed to aging big name free agents and while I'm sceptical it'll work it's just fun to see. Same way that I'm hoping to see the Penguins do well with Karlsson.

That certainly is a liberal use of the term "superstar"

A 29 year old who has been over a point a game four of the past five seasons, who did so playing alongside the best centerman of this century, is about to have a breakout … now?

Really?

The best hope is that he can sustain comparable production a few more seasons before his contract becomes a boat anchor. But that he’s about to break out is … rich.

His game is all between the ears. Imo he's been getting better every year. Kucherov is a brilliant player in his prime, imo Guentzel is gonna thrive on Tampa.

Don't think McDavid gives a hoot about a guy levels below him.

Not everyone has a Panarin or a Fox on their team

Michkov + any random Flyer

On Sharks, 60p in 69gp is considered superstar!

Sharks 32nd in the league - Last. 11gp MORE than the 2nd best scorer on the team that had 15p less than him. Easy to say he was absolutely their best player, without any help.

Voted for Guentzel + Kucherov because it asked about superstar duos and it's the only superstar duo in the poll.

And even Guentzel is at best borderline, but that's the only legit debatable superstar duo.

not sure why Laine and Suzuki are near the top of the poll. Probably a billion canadien fans on here but one has never lived up to his original hype and been traded a few times and the other is a good player but 70ish points when the real superstars are well over 100 points, meh.

A line of Foerster- Couturier/Frost - Michkov could be a lot of fun. Foerster has that wicked shot that could be well utilized on a line with Michkov. Couturier would most likely be the C because of D and experience.

Icabod and Crane

This isnt a poll about the best duo - its a poll about who you are excited to see. Did this help?

Can read just fine. Says it in the thread title. "Which Superstar". After that yes, it is asking you specifically for your opinion. Thats fine but one could argue there are really only 3 choices that fit the question. Mcdavid because of him, Kuch & Guentzel, Stamkos & Forsberg. The rest at this point are either rookies, old guys or average players. I picked the Laine pairing to comment on because neither of them qualify but were getting the 2nd most votes at the time I posted. Glad I could help.

This poll would make more sense if you remove "superstar" from the title

Giroux and Perron are 36 y/o... I hope they don't play together

Which new superstar duo are you most excited to see in 2024-25?
