Getzlaf + Kucherov vs Thornton + Pastrnak

[Evergreen]

Really tough choice, but I’d have to give the edge to Getz and Kuch.

I'd have enjoyed Savard with Pastrnak, but Thornton would do very well. Dynamic.



Is it truly so obvious Kucherov is > Pastrnak?

Pastrnak on an island at this point, while Kucherov is surrounded by elite players offensively.

Theres a debate to be had for sure, especially if you value goalscoring that much more heavily.

But I dont think its a fair assessment to say that Pastrnak is "on an island". Boston is too good of a team, as results showed last year and this year. Boston's D especially blows Tampa's out of the water this year.

Idk, Im not the biggest fan of Kucherov as he shows himself in the media, but as a hockey player, I think he's clearly ahead of Pastrnak at this point. Close enough that my opinion could change though
