Draisaitl/Ovi/Kane should round out the top 4.

Voted Drai but easily could have voted for the other two.

Top 10 seems packed with great players. Kucherov, Ovechkin, Kane, Draisaitl, Giroux, Rantanen, Marner, Marchand, Gaudreau, Stone, Panarin, Pastrnak, and maybe a few others.

Gotta go with Marchand here.

Past 3 years:

3rd in PPG behind only McDavid and Kucherov
3rd in winger points behind Kucherov and Kane (though only 5 points behind Kane with 18 less games played) so realistically he'd be 2nd here.
1st in GWG's with 25
1st in +/- at +58
1st in Shorthanded points with 16
While averaging approximately 2 less minutes per game compared to most star players.

This is cutting off Kane’s Art Ross year which was one of the best individual seasons post lock out IMO

Very true, I think Kane/Marchand are fairly interchangeable for the 2 spot personally, Kane had the best individual year in 2015-2016 no doubt.

I want to go with Marchand because he's my guy, but I can't find an unbiased reason to choose him over Kane.

I'd have more faith in Kane producing at an elite rate under any circumstances than Marchand. He plays on probably the best line in the NHL. He'd still be great away from them, but I don't think he'd be a 100 points player.

Perhaps but he missed Pastrnak and Bergeron for 2 separate stretches of 15+ games this season and kept on trucking, so he's able to do it consistently with either one of them. At one point 2 years ago he made Riley Nash a PPG+ center for a month and a half stretch it was a sight to see lmfao
