how is edmonton getting votes lol?
Mcdavid is the 2nd best in the world. Draisaitl is one of the top young players in the league. but then you have Lucic 50pts, RNH 43 pts, Maroon 42 pts (riding shotgun to connor) and Puljujarvi (did nothing in the NHL)
only 3 of those guys are even top 6 players, 4 if you think RNH can bounce back
Because like you said, you have the best offensive player in the league, a guy who will likely be PPG, a 27G scorer in Maroon, quality banger like Lucic, RNH who still had 40+pts in a down season, and the best prospect in hockey IMO.
Last season the Edmonton top 6 had a combined 363 points (if you assume one of Poolparty/Strome can get 50pts like Eberle) and 147 goals
Toronto top 6 had combined 360pts and 169 goals.
Not a huge difference, So it really depends how you see each young team improving going forward. I personally don't see Marleau or Kadri repeating those numbers and there's no one really on Edmonton that I see a reduction in points from.
