Point or Aho. Point gets the nod for me for his post-season heroics.

 

[Machinehead]

The year the Lightning didn't have Point is the year they didn't win it.

 

[Lavar Ball]

Brayden Point

Tough to win if you don't have a Point, but it's also a lot easier to score with Aho.

 

[Machinehead]

Aho's career PPG is 0.02 points higher

 

[BKarchitect]

Also Robert Thomas not even mentioned as an “add”? I’d not only take him over pretty much all the nominees but a bunch of the guys that are already voting options.

 

[banks]

Malkin.

Add Thomas and Barzal.

 

[Regal]

Aho's career PPG is 0.02 points higher

“With a ho”

 

[Machinehead]

“With a ho”

 

[KAITBGMITNHL]

Stamkos. 1.31ppg last year, 40 goal pace in playoffs. Point hasn't been able PPG pace for 3 years, tbh can't really see the argument for him.

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Point.
Add Pettersson.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Point is so much better than Aho its NEC

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

I'm still going off the board with my Eichel pick.

Come on, Jack. Prove me right this season or you're dead to me.

 

[amnesiac]

Point

add Barzal

to add: Suzuki, PLD

 

[M2Beezy]

Point or Miller, its a toss up. Went Point to reverse alphabetically vote

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

Has to be Point. One of the best players in the playoffs through 20-21. He's more like a ~PPG guy in the regular season but 41 goals and 92 pts ain't too shabby for career highs.

Still though, one of the guys who you feel comfortable with in big games.

 

[Puckstuff]

Point is better then Bergeron imo, so is Stamkos

 

[strattonius]

How is Point getting rated higher than Stamkos?

 

[Lavar Ball]

I think Couturier should also in the "to add" group

 

[MasterMatt25]

Aho or Malkin

 

[Regal]

How is Point getting rated higher than Stamkos?

When he’s healthy, he’s a better overall play driver and has been much better in the playoffs. Stamkos is a better regular season producer, but it hasn’t translated to the playoffs.

Better play driver why? Fancy terminology but how exactly is that true when Stamkos is out-producing so significantly. Point is getting more love because he's 5 yrs younger. Ever since 2018-19, Point hasn't been a point per game player while Stamkos just put up a 106 pt season.

 

[hamzarocks]

Man Eichels injuries have cost him

He'd be easy fire #8 if healthy, could have gone 6th or 7th as well based off his 2018 to 2020 years

Hoping he breaks out fully. Didn't work for the Sabres but dude has some insane talent.

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

Stamkos
