[NetflixandPhil]

This is where it really starts to open up.

Wheeler
Tkachuk
Gaudreau
Hall
Kopitar

 

[Benn14]

Hall easily

 

[North Man]

What makes Huberdeau better than Gaudreau?

 

[TopCheese]

Gaudreau and hall next up

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

Gaudreau, when he’s on, is a country mile better than any of these players. Yeah he had a bad year and HF hates him but like come on...

 

[J15]

Gaudreau, when he’s on, is a country mile better than any of these players. Yeah he had a bad year and HF hates him but like come on...

But when he's not on...

 

[qqaz]

Blake Wheeler had back-to-back 91 point seasons, followed by a "drop off" to 75 point pace last season. He elevates his linemates, and can play C or wing.

Hall has had only one truly great season (Hart win in 17-18), and Gaudreau brings far less to the table outside of his scoring.

Wheeler, Giroux, and Kopitar should be next up, in my mind.

 

[The Moose is Loose]

Hall won a MVP trophy recently, he can be a top 10 forward any given season. I’d give him the benefit of doubt here

2019-20

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Taylor Hall.

 

[Advanced stats]

Hallsey

 

[Murzu]

This is Svechnikov.

 

[Sasso09]

Gaudreau, when he’s on, is a country mile better than any of these players. Yeah he had a bad year and HF hates him but like come on...

Same can be said for Giroux. Giroux has had three seasons better than JG's best.

Hall was given Giroux's MVP recently**

 

[Sasso09]

Konecny is better than or as good as the below listed. I think it's time to at least add him

Horvat
Terevainen
Voracek
Miller
Couture
Gentzel
Hertl
Paccioretty
Landeskog
PLD
Forsberg
Laine

 

[The Moose is Loose]

Hall was given Giroux's MVP recently**

Wow color me surprised that you have this opinion.

The MVP trophy that everyone says Mackinnon was robbed of, that went to Hall, in a year where McDavid won the Ross/Lindsay, actually belongs to Giroux?

 

[bobholly39]

Same can be said for Giroux. Giroux has had three seasons better than JG's best.

Don't know about that. Gaudreau's best season is arguably as good/comparable to any of Giroux's. Hart voting is better for Giroux - but that's a question of competition in given year, if you compare across years I certainly wouldn't have Gaudreau's last among those 4, or at least they're comparable.

It's true Giroux has 3 to 1 - but Gaudreau was better in the past 2 seasons (though both disappointing last year).
Giroux is also 33 now, so might be slowing down.
Also - although Gaudreau certainly is disappointing in playoffs lately - Giroux was quite bad himself last year.

Going into this season I'd rank Gaudreau above Giroux for those reasons.

Hall was given Giroux's MVP recently**

In 2018 - my top 3 for Hart voting would have been McDavid, Kucherov and MacKinnon. Quite frankly I'd have had all of Hall, Giroux and Kopitar finish lower than they did.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Same can be said for Giroux. Giroux has had three seasons better than JG's best.

Empirically false. But I think both should have gone by now. Kopitar as well.
