I voted can't decide.

I’ll go Kucherov, bit of a homer vote tho. Kuch had an absurd first half. Malkin is still the better player though not by much anymore.

Purely regular season, it’s close.

Kucherov’s series against Boston really left a bad taste in my mouth.

Voted Malkin. Hard to argue with his regular season peak. There was a long stretch there where he put the penguins on his back.

Malkin, he was more dominant and did it with worse linemates.

 

[Future GOAT]

Very close, but I think Malkin has a slight edge.

Geno

Malkin by a hair. Sucks that Kucherov slowed down. He was a monster in the first half.

This should have been the Hart vote

Malkin, close but clear in my eyes. More goals, higher PPG, better defensively.
