Prime Zetterberg no doubt

Z.

I want to say:

Z
Kopi
Bergeron
Toews

But I guess a popular opinion is to be preferring Bergeron to Kopitar...

 

[psycat]

Zetterberg is the only one of those that I do believe had a, albeit a weak one, case for the Hart.

Zetterberg

Kopitar
Toews
Bergeron

All hall of famers, but this is Toews by a mile. He's consistently willed his teams to wins.

At their best I'd say:

Zetterberg

Toews
Kopitar
Bergeron

But if I'm taking one for their entire prime, I think it might be Kopitar. Healthiest and I think he was probably better than Zetterberg in other seasons after Zetterberg's best couple seasons

Zetterberg

Kopitar
Toews
Bergeron

Totally on board with this. I'm a huge Z fan.

Zetterberg had the best Conn Smythe to me. Toews had two more points but Zetterbergs two way play was something I dont think Toews did on his. From 05/06-07/08 Zetterberg averaged 82 points and 38 goals in 72 games. Thats an average of 93 points for every 82 games with 43 goals. In those three seasons I won't say he was the best defensively but he was at the very least comparable to all these guys if not better than some and I would say his shut down of Crosby in the playoffs was a defesnive display none of these other guys have shown. Couple that with the most impressive Conn Smythe of the bunch and I think Zetterberg is a safe bet. Zetterberg also has the highest point per game average in the playoffs of the group, while the younger guys havent really had to play at an older age that will make their numbers come down

If you combine the other 3 players all together, they have a total of 2 seasons where they were point per game players. Thats counting the lockout season for Toews and Kopitar this year who likely wont finish over point per game. Zetterberg has 3 times that by himself with 6.

This poll shouldnt be close

Yeah I was thinking all of this as well. I'm inclined to go with Zetterberg but Kopitar should be elite for several more seasons IMO on top of what he's done already by the looks of it.
