[Master P]

Patrick Kane and Jonathan Drouin

 

[TheNorthStars]

Malkin - Nichushkin

 

[Hattrickkane88]

idk but if kucherov was swapped for Mcdavid Tampa would likely have three cups in a row.

 

[Sheppy]

Kovalev & Datsyuk?

 

[Kamiccolo]

Kapanen and McDavid

 

[Nick Hansen]

Patrick Kane and Jonathan Drouin

Good one. Obvious to anyone that Drouin has insane skills but he just can't utilize it particularly effectively.

 

[Muffinalt]

Marian Hossa and Brendan Perlini. I'm assuming Perlini has the away from the puck and defensive arsenal, just isn't aware he could use them.

 

[greasysnapper]

Malkin - Nichushkin

Disagree. Size wise sure. But Malkin can shoot among other things. I think Nuke got unfairly labeled as a young Malkin really early on just because he was a big Russian.

 

[Ctrain2k]

Yakupov and Kane.

 

[ProspectsSTC]

Kovalev & Datsyuk?

Kovalev wasn't dumb, he was just lazy.

 

[Oilers Propagandist]

Taylor Hall and Jesse Puljujarvi.

 

[Puckluck13]

idk but if kucherov was swapped for Mcdavid Tampa would likely have three cups in a row.

Ha? This is blatantly false.

 

[Puckluck13]

James neal and milan lucic.

Gr8 b8 m8, I r8 8 out of 8

Kovalev wasn't dumb, he was just lazy.

Well, he did take some dumb penalties that cost his team. I remember him selling a slash against the Bruins and Murray sniping one in OT. Though, I guess that can be considered lazy too.

Could a lazy hockey player play a 5 minute shift?

 

[member 300185]

Got a good one.

Gardiner-Barrie

 

[lanceuppercut75]

Got a good one.

Gardiner-Barrie

Skating isn't close enough. Gardiner can fly.

 

[EdmFlyersfan]

Couturier - Nugent-Hopkins

 

[TheDawnOfANewTage]

Gr8 b8 m8, I r8 8 out of 8

Am I too l8 to h8 how gr8 this is?

 

[CartographerNo611]

Patrick Laine and Danny Heatley

 

[TheDawnOfANewTage]

Ristolainen and Pronger? Crazy, but think about it- lotta similarities outside of every single decision they make.

 

[SnizzMitch]

Skating isn't close enough. Gardiner can fly.

I‘ve watched them both and Barrie is faster IMO.

 

[Kshahdoo]

Gurianov and Andrei Svechnikov
