Kuch only played 74 games last season. He was at a 94 point pace. While Kane had 89 in 82.
All due respect, but actual points have more bearing in this argument.

1) you can not count
2) Laine 44 goals Kucherov 39 goals--so I have laine scoring more goals then kucherov---so that by itself allows the debate to rule out undisputed
30+ points >>>> 5 goals in more games, an insult to Kucherov to compare him to Laine.
Only to most logical fans.
Only to bolts fans.
stamkos was cold for awhile too or kuch would of put more points
I don't think Kane was ever better than Kucherov is now. Yes, he scored 106 points in a low scoring year, but that was an outlier year that was never going to be repeated.the last two seasons Kuch > Kane
Kane at his peak and prime years > Kuch so far
if it is a "current" question, i think Kuch is #1.

It's one thing to have a better single season and another to be a better player IMO. Lots of things would indicate it was a wild puck luck year instead of Kane finding a new gear. Kuch has been one of the best offensive players for the past couple of years and is a proven playoff beast which is exactly what you could say of Kane at his best.That 106 point year > Kucherov this year, and you say this like Kucherov has repeated 100 point seasons.. Kane followed a 1st place scoring finish with a 2nd place oneand you're talking about repetition

Who has the two best consecutive seasons?
Kane - 1st in points, 1st in PPG, and T2 in points, 5th in PPG
Kuch - 6th in points, 4th in PPG, and 3rd in points, T4 in PPG
It's debatable that Kucherov has had one season that was better than Kane's 2nd best.

First of all, Stamkos and Kucherov are linematesOnly for those who put more importance on points than goals. The title of the thread us UNDISPUTED and if you only want to look at points and not goals and depth of the team then I can see where you could claim that. Jets do not have the depth of the Bolts and some could make the case out that the bolts player is helped by the fact that when they play teams--the opposition team needs to decide between Stam and Kuch as to who will be the primary target of the night for the top checkers with the other guy getting the second line checkers. With the jets, Laine gets the top checkers every game
No not undisputed #1. Kane had a good year while Kucherov had a great one and is definitely on the rise. Kane is 5 years older and has hardware.....a lot of it. While Kucherov is better "right now" that can change next season. IMO in order to be the undisputed #1 RW, Kucherov needs some trophies.
