Draisaitl because of his dual threat ability. It's very close though imo. The Sedin twins were no joke during their 2 year peak. No line controlled the offensive zone the way Daniel and Henrik did, and Henrik played very well even when Daniel was out in 09/10.

I hated the Canucks and the Sedins as a Hawks fan back then but it's impossible not to acknowledge how dominant offensively H. Sedin was that year.

This is a great poll actuall because Ovie only played 72 games that season though, he would've won a Ross, Richard, Hart, and Lindsay that year had he finished out the season. Had McDavid played the entire season he likely would've won the Ross as well.

I'll go Draisaitl here because it's more of a tossup between Drai and McDavid as to who had the better year whereas with Sedin I think you can easily see he wasn't the best in the league that year.

This one's kind of tough. Sedin outscored prime Crosby and Ovechkin, but Draisaitl outscored prime McDavid. Drai has more impressive gaps over the rest of the top ten scorers and was a better goal scorer relative to the League (fourth in goals).

I say he was better unless someone wants to make a compelling argument that Henrik was substantially better defensively and in terms of possession.

I took Draisatl and to all those saying McDavid, it's not like Henrik wasn't playing with his brother like forever right?

In a vacuum people would absolutely take the 24 year old version of Drai and his Hart year to the 29 year old version of Hank who was a very good player and had a great season but really this isn't even close for me.

 

[JackSlater]

Draisaitl pretty comfortably. Wasn't all that impressed with either Sedin even at their best.

 

[Johnny Tomala]

Draisaitl.

Hank. Daniel was injured so Henrik decided he'd become a goal scorer. 83 assists.

Considering crosby was robbed of the hart. Drai
