Kucherov by a very large amount.

Kucherov has at least 4 individual playoff runs that are better than any of Shannahans (some, a lot better)
Kucherov has at least 4 individual regular seasons that are better than any of Shannhans (some, a lot better)

True that Shannhan has ~1000 more career games - but Kucherov is simply a much higher caliber player.

Kucherov, not close.

Lol @ the OP changing his vote from Shanahan once he realized how this wasn't close.

 

[LightningStorm]

Kucherov by a landslide. Even as finishers they are close, and that's Shanahan's main strength. As a playmaker and creator in general, Shanny doesn't compare at all to Kuch.

Shannahan is more comparable to this generations Jamie Benn.

When you factor in Shanahans tenure with the Leafs it makes this an even bigger disparity. Kucherov. Not close at all.

The only reason to vote for Shanny would be because of longevity. But, since his career isn't over yet, I don't think that makes much of a difference.

Kucherov.

Kucherov is the answer to the poll.

But Shanahan was a much much better player than Benn.

 

[M2Beezy]

Like most here its tough picturing Shanahan as a player so I voted Kucherov

 

[Sky04]

Kucherov is the answer to the poll.

But Shanahan was a much much better player than Benn.

No he wasn't, his best finishes were 8th and 10th in league scoring, Benn has 3 top-10 finishes including 1st and 2nd. The only thing Shannan had was that he was a better player longer, peak Benn was clearly higher than Shannahan.
