Who's The Best Player In the NHL This Season?

[Cousin Eddie]

Not the most important to his team. Not just the most points. Not most goals.

Straight up, who's been the best player in the league?

I would rule Kucherov out honestly and it's extremely hard for me to pick between the other 3. If forced to choose probably MacKinnon.

 

[Plural]

Even with games missed, I think I'll have to go with MacKinnon. It's close with Kuch and Geno.

 

[EdJovanovski]

Ovechkin
For sake of the poll, Kucherov

 

[Rygu]

Mackinnon has done the most with the least.

Ovechkin
For sake of the poll, Kucherov

You think Ovechkin has been the best player in the league? Really?

 

[Freedom]

Kucherov from the start of the season. Malkin this year and Mackinnon overall.

 

[EdJovanovski]

You think Ovechkin has been the best player in the league? Really?

He’s the leading goal scorer, it’s not that far fetched lol

1st half Kuch. 2nd half Mack.

Toss up. Both have been extremely impressive all year.

I'll give it to Mack though. He's put the Avs on his back and while the Avs are very talented, Mack doesn't play with the kind talent Kuch gets to play with on game to game basis.

I think McDavid is in 4th place. He's coming on strong though at the end - but it's in a lost cause. I would have liked to see him play better earlier when his team was still in it and victories counted. So he's 4th - but he is 4th, so I definitely agree with the overall top 4 listed.

It's so hard between the other 3. Flip a coin really. They all have arguments and they all 3 are close, very. And at different dates i would have voted for a different player. I think i'll vote MacKinnon because why not - as of today he has the highest ppg by a good gap. But they're so close that all 3 could end up #1 by end of season (arguably even McDavid if he eclipses them all in the scoring race by a bit of a gap)

 

[M2Beezy]

Mcdavid/Mackinnon

 

[Koivu11]

Nathan MacKinnon

 

[tony d]

MacKinnon.

 

[GreeningOil]

MacKinnon.

 

[stepdad gaary]

mcdavid is the best player to ever put on skates so if he is currently playing then its him

 

[The Moose is Loose]

McDavid does more than anyone else with less

 

[firstemperor]

McDavid.......he doesn't deserve to be the most valuable but he's the best player in the league today.

 

[snipes]

McDavid

Hart to MacK though, love watching him play

 

[Our Lady Peace]

Shocked nobody is pointing to Marchand here.

Creates offense through his tireless work ethic and elite skill seemingly every shift these days. Rarely makes mistakes from the times I've watched him.

One of the most dangerous PKers in the league, as well.

 

[Albus Dumbledore]

best would be nate mack for sure, his ppg is crazy, and hes taking the avs to the playoffs.

 

[Our Lady Peace]

Mackinnon has done the most with the least.

Hardly playing with the "least".
He plays with Rantanen and Landeskog. High quality linemates.

However for me it's between MacKinnon and Marchand, with Kucherov shortly behind.

 

[KoozNetsOff 92]

Lindsay: MacK, Malkin, Kucherov

Hart: MacK, Ovechkin, Kucherov

MacK has been the best and most valuable player this season.

 

[amnesiac]

Mackinnon has done the most with the least.

Ill take Rantanen over what McDavid plays with

 

[amnesiac]

MacKinnon is having a great season, but it doesnt make him the best player. That would be McDavid.

 

[cgf]

McDavid, but I homer-voted for MacK instead
