If we asked who was the best goal scorer between mike bossy, paval bure, and brett hull would we get 50% to agree?
Honestly why does it matter? Greatness is greatness. As a bruin fan we have marchand and pastrnak we feel will score 35-40 goals for us. As a fan im happy. What do i care if matthews or laine or ovechkin are technically 'better' scorers?
Maybe if the question was about who the best player was i might think its worth arguing. But goal scoring relies alot on luck. Better linemates... bounces of the puck... icetime... health... x factor how often you run into hot goalie or get shadowed by a checker having a great game.
Laine is a hell of a talent and winnipeg fans should be happy they have him. For my money i will expect kucherov to end up with more goals over the next 5 years but both guys look solid bets to be top 10 goal scorers for the next decade
