couturier add domi

 

[Deadly Dogma]

should be Matthews but its gonna be 1 of Bergy/Malkin then the other than Matthews, if 2 players are at all close it gonna go the non Leafs way lol

 

[Dominance]

Bergeron here for me.

 

[Trap Jesus]

Bergeron: forever underrated

 

[Clint Eastwood]

Gonna go with the guy who should have the Selke trophy named after him.

 

[Devilsfan992]

Malkin

 

[780il]

Definitely Bergeron. Then Malkin, and then things get interesting

 

[LT]

Went with Malkin, but it's a toss-up between him and Bergeron for me.

 

[KoozNetsOff 92]

Malkin should have been 4

There needs to be better eyeroll emojis

 

[TLEH]

Its Bergeron and then Malkin for me.

 

[bobholly39]

Malkin should have been 4

Yeah

This is Malkin easily here

I feel like Stamkos isn't getting enough love, either. He set a career high in points last season and finally looked to be back to his old self. I think the biggest argument against him is his teammates, which is valid, but he's absolutely still a very high-level player.

 

[jbobell98]

Idk why you have Barkov as Finnish and Russian. He plays for Finland end of story.

 

[Snippit]

Bergeron then Barkov then Matthews

At 8 you could argue Eichel, Scheifele, Tavares, Seguin, Stamkos, Point, Aho, etc

 

[Backcheckmonster3]

Idk why you have Barkov as Finnish and Russian. He plays for Finland end of story.

Yeah please add the irish/scottish flag to McDavid as it is about equally relevant.

I’m using the Elite Prospects flags listed for each player.

I think the biggest knock is the playoffs, where he's just never lived up to his regular season performance.

 

[Machinehead]

Malkin should have been 4

A lot of better choices than Barkov.

Great player but one of the most overrated players on this site.

 

[Machinehead]

I’m using the Elite Prospects flags listed for each player.

If I'm ever in an HF poll, I want the United States AND Germany!

 

[Machinehead]

Oh, and add Pettersson.

There's a handful of options already up there that I take Pettersson over right now.

 

[IceBoxHockey]

I have to go with Bergeron. What that man is capable of at both ends of the ice is a rare combo.

 

[Volica]

Bergeron: forever underrated

Dude is legit one of the best overall players in the league. As someone who loves Sasha Barkov, he still can’t hold Bergeron’s jock quite yet.

Outside of the big three, McDavid, Crosby and MacKinnom... Bergeron and Malkin round out the top 5 centre on the planet.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

Homer vote for Malkin, but I'm skeptical until I see if last season was an aberration or the norm going forward.
