McDavid can’t outweigh the three great players on the Malkin line for this year only.
Ovechkin Malkin and Kuch would be my choice.

 

[Randy Randerson]

can't go wrong, took the McDavid line

 

[KoozNetsOff 92]

OV = MacK > Matthews
McDavid >= Malkin = Crosby
Kucherov > Rantanen > Marner

Pretty easily the Russians.

 

[SHANNYPLAN]

McDavid > Crosby
Matthews > MacKinnon
Marner > Raantanen

Easy Peasy

OV = MacK > Matthews
McDavid >= Malkin = Crosby
Kucherov > Rantanen > Marner

Pretty easily the Russians.

How on earth is Ovechkin better than Mackinnkn?

Mackinnon’s outscored Ovechkin at a nearly ~ 30 point rate the past 2 seasons.

The one with the two best players in the NHL, Connor McDavid and Auston Matthews

Crosby line quite easily.

I don't like Ov/Malkin. They've never had success together. Both insane players, but on a line? This excites me the least (and I think Kucherov is awesome).

Matthews/McDavid/Marner obviously could work great....not sure off hand what chemistry would look like. Maybe it'd be awesome, maybe not.

Mack/Ranta already have insane chemistry. Best in league (certainly best in this poll, as they're the only 2 linemates). Sidney Crosby has the highest hockey IQ out of anyone here. I think he'd find a way to mesh with those guys.

So if the concept is that all 3 players have to play together on a line, i'm thinking Crosby first, McDavid 2nd, Russians last.

If the question was what trio you take without having to play them together on one same line - it becomes a lot more interesting.

Yeah I feel bad. You're a victim of online bullying on HF in almost every thread you appear in recently.

Don't take it too badly - they sound like a bunch of idiots.

I don’t take that stuff seriously anymore

It says equal.

 

[Kresnik]

The McDavid line, but Marner would be quite useless on that line, better to have someone that can score in his place.

Hmmm, not sure about the pretty easily part or Ovechkin equaling MacKinnon.

McDavid could use a great playmaker setting him up once in a while.

 

[Conspiracy Theorist]

Crosby line. Marner is the weak link here. Ovechkin and Malkin don't work as a line.

lmao

 

[Soliloquy of a Dogge]

McDavid > Crosby
Matthews = MacKinnon
Marner < Rantanen


McDavid is dragged down in this comparison by Matthews and Marner but he still throws it in his line's favor.

One of the funniest posts I've ever seen.

Nobody takes you seriously either. It's not that you're a victim of online bullying, it's that you double and triple down on insane takes and then contradict yourself with even worse takes and then get called out on it and somehow find another way to double down on that. You're no victim. You're just a young kid that talks as if he's an experienced adult when in reality you really don't know squat. Nothing wrong with that, we've all been there. Just learn to admit when you're wrong, which you often are, and you'll receive a lot less criticism.

No bias in that post at all is there? Lmao

 

[strictlyrandy]

Crosby line. He's the one with the Cups. He knows what it takes. MacK and Rants would be even more insane.

McDavid doesn't have what it takes yet. Matthews is constantly injured. Marner is fine but he isn't on the same level as MacK, Rants, or Crosby.

 

[KlefDown]

I take the Crosby, MacK and Rants line.

McDavid and Crosby are equals but MacK and Rants clearly outweigh Matthews and Marner

 

[Pyrophorus]

Weird the lone time McDavid doesn't trump all. Very Strange.
