Don’t say eye test when you mean points
Also Danny Briere in 2010, beyond that I'm pretty sure nobody pre-lockout hit 30 playoff points.
They weren't going to give it to a guy on a losing team, sadly, but it's funny how he had 11 more points than the guy that did win the Smythe. In my opinion, Pavelski was the best player for the Sharks; he scored 13 goals in 18 games in the first 3 rounds. Yeah, he disappeared in the finals, but so did most of the team.
I think that based on how the final went, the guy there almost certainly would have been Martin Jones.
From the Sharks, Couture has really only had 2 bad series; the reverse sweep in 2014, and last year's first round where he was severely injured. He has always stepped it up in the playoffs and his career playoff numbers are fantastic; even outside of his insane 30 point run, he's been a great playoff performer. He just went head to head with Getzlaf and destroyed him; everybody sucks Johansen's dick for being a mediocre offensive player and destroying Getzlaf one time in a head to head, but Couture is an elite goal scorer with a 30 point playoff run to his name and gets no credit for doing the same thing.
Martin Jones, though, is #1. In the two playoff series that he has lost as a Shark, he has been debatably the series MVP. His playoff numbers (over a small 34 game sample size) are near the greatest of all time. He almost single handedly stole a series in the 2016 Stanley Cup Final, and he just allowed only 4 goals in 4 games to the Ducks. Until one of them have a meltdown, I'm ranking Martin Jones and Matt Murray as the league's top two playoff goalies.
