Ovechkin is not the second best player in the league in 2019.Well he's the 4th best player in the NHL and the 2nd best is a winger (Ovechkin). So yes.

He's arguably #1.
So you have Ovechkin above a guy who outscored him by 40 points? Would like to see how you justify that.

Playoffs, physicality, goals.
I would take MacKinnon with his contract over any other player in the league. He's not quite as good as McDavid but is a much better value.
Other than McDavid and Crosby, who could be considered ahead of him right now? Drai doesn't score as much if he plays center full time. Barkov is close, especially when you account for his 2 way game.

Bergeron perhaps? He was on pace for 100+ points this season while playing his usual top notch defensive game.
He does score a few more goals but not enough to make up the gap. Physicality isn’t really a positive or negative thing either. And Ovechkin is one of the biggest playoff chokers in the history of the game so that doesn’t really help his case either.
