Stickhandling

[John Eichel da GOAT]

Kane best all around.

Crosby best in action/board play.

With speed, MacKinnon and McDavid.

None rival Kovalev.

 

[dBoon]

Not gonna be on the obvious list, but Granlund is a great stickhandler.

McDavid makes Kovalev look pedestrian

First video isn't even Kovalev (Nor is the person that impressive)

Second video is impressive but is being done against beer league hockey players.

Not even arguing Kovalev wasn't one of the best, but the examples you're giving are quite lackluster.

I think this video is a better demonstration of Alexei Kovalev's abilities as it includes plays that didn't result in goals as well as assists. Neither of which are showcased much in most highlight videos.

It's a good watch if you can tolerate the quality.

 

[Felidae]

McDavid is the answer though.

 

[Connor McConnor]

Kane, Panarin, Gaudreau, Mackinnon and Pastrnak have nasty hands. The answer here tho is McDavid

 

[Kakko Schmakko]

Kovalev should be content with the NHL's "Greatest Diver of All Time" award.

that belongs to Sidney Crosby
