Zucc, for sure. He's been consistently great the entire season. McDonagh didn't really blow my mind like he has in the past, but maybe I'm just used to how good he is and Zuccarello is more of a shock.

I think that concept is a major reason why Lundqvist regularly is under appreciated. Consistent greatness causes standards to change in such a way.

That about sums it up perfectlyZuccarello is playing like a 1st liner. McDonagh is playing like a Norris calibre defenseman. Zuccarello is our most pleasant surprise. McDonagh is our MVP.
if I said to you tomorrow that you had to lose one of Zucc or McD for the rest of the year (they would be returned completely healthy and singed next year), who would you chose? One has been the Rangers best forward, the other is integral to just about everything.
McD>Zucc
You could eventually replace Zucc, a lot harder to replace a McD type d-man.
McDonagh is the better player, sure. And he's more difficult to replace, I agree with that too, but Zuccarello is the most valuable player so far this season. It's close, but still.
How? How is a forward who is on pace for 58 points more valuable than our #1 two-way beast of a defenseman who plays 24 minutes a night?
I love Zuccarello, he has become one of my personal favorites, but to claim he's more valuable than McDonagh is simply baffling. And yet 49 people believe so. I just don't get it.
