Mcdavid vs Hedman | Who’s Better Relative To Their Positional Peers?

[The Macho King]

Meh us Tampa fans are used to asterisks. Still looks good in silver.

Most people disagree. We can all agree to disagree, it's ok. Just know that Hedman's Smythe has an asterisk next to it, that is all. Back on topic guys!

It's the worst narrative surrounding Tampa Bay players on these boards right now, and it's blatantly false. Hedman had an all-time great run and everyone is quick to discredit it with the lazy "Point was better" argument. I don't know how anyone can claim to watch every Tampa game and claim an asterisk, it's ridiculous.

When did hedman become a bourque level defenseman?

 

[volcom92886]

Both are overrated, Hedman plays on a stacked team and McDavid plays a one dimensional game.

Hahaha

What a terrible take.

So many Homer's on HF

Leafs fan becomes Lightning homer.

More at 5.

As lopsided as the poll is .. you still have to Shake your head at some of these takes. Hedman is your average star defenseman on a ridiculous team. McDavid is a transcendental player tilting the ice sideways everytime he steps onto the ice.

And to follow it up with this take... Woof.

I think Draisaitl elevates McDavid a bit more than Jan f***ing Rutta elevates Hedman.

> Hedman is not the best defensemen
> Hedman & McDavid are overrated
> Kane better than McDavid this season
> Hedman's smythe has an asterisk
> Hedman is an average star defensemen

you people should just stop watching hockey altogether. Absolute garbage takes.

The only asterisk is McDavid losing the Hart to Hall

McDavid vs Karlsson 2012-2017 would have been a better question

You take the Stanley Cup winning MVP.
