The Most Exciting Players In The NHL...

For me the most exciting player is the one that makes you look up from what you are doing if they have the puck or makes you lean forward in your seat at the arena during their shifts.

I feel that way about Malkin, Ovechkin, McDavid, Karlsson, Kane and a couple of other younger players in the league who I will reserve judgment on.

Agreed a 120%.

 

[Sam Spade]

crosby and malkin

skill, talent, desire, titles, and charisma

elite in every way, they never fail to eww and ahh all of us

"Crosby" and "charisma", in what I assume is a sentence, should never go together.

 

[Wild11MN]

MacKinnon and Kane are the first two that come to mind for me.

 

[Maladroit]

Brent Burns. Both teams score piles of goals when he's on the ice.

 

[heretik27]

Pure talent, McDavid.
Talent and physicality... Byfuglien and it's not even close. When he ramps his game up he just dominates everyone on the ice.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

No one has mentioned Hawks Alex DeBrincat, so, Alex DeBrincat.

 

[Dzonna]

Ovechkin
McDavid

Crosby back from injury

[TheAngryHank]

McD
Tom Wilson

Malkin doesn't move the charisma meter either.

 

[Sam Spade]

Malkin doesn't move the charisma meter either.

I don't know I've seen some interviews with Malkin were he is pretty damn funny.

 

[LemmyUlanov55]

Might sound a little odd, but watching Vasilevsky dominating the crease at times with his ultra low positioning is something I found quite exciting at times.

 

[FLpanthers16]

Barzal, McDavid to name a few and a biased vote Vincent Trocheck.

 

[bukwas]

McDavid for me. That speed and the talent to do something with it is tremendously exciting.
Karlsson is a good HM.
Most players who can pull off the unexpected i find exciting.

 

[Thread The Needle]

Gotta echo Athanasiou later. What a great name.

 

[Mitch nylander]

Ryan Reaves

 

[Colt.45Orr]

Barzal, Karlsson McDavid.

 

[Butch 19]

Marchand -- highlight worthy skill plays, lots of scoring, gets big goals a lot, is an OT and GWG monster, chirps constantly, always a threat to make a dirty/borderline play. Very exciting player whether you love or hate him.

LOL - Come on, he's well past the borderline - he's dirty, period.

He needs to play 3+ clean seasons to lose this dirty label.

 

[hector morrison]

Used to enjoy the big hitters and fighters,but since we are into a more genteel kind of era....I enjoy watching Marner, Barzal, Kane,Gaudreau and a few others like them. The danglers and such!

 

[BrockLobster]

I find the lack of Barzal in this thread disturbing.

Every time barzal has the puck its must watch

 

[lomiller1]

Of the Jets: Ehlers

Byfuglien says hello...

 

[Bouboumaster]

Non playoffs: probably McDavid. The things he can do, at his speed, is simply mindblowing.
Playoffs: P.K. Subban, at least in Montreal, was the f***ing bomb. And when playoffs came, he was a total beast. Most fun player we had since Kovalev,

 

[Golden_Jet]

Karlsson

 

[Yackiberg8]

Love watching the Penguins to watch Crosby and Malkin. Always exciting.

McDavid is fun to watch when he rushes up the wing.

Marner will be exciting to watch when his game fully develops. He is fun for a while and then it can get frustrating when he doesn't shoot. Got better at the end of last season already.

 

[Choralone]

For goalies, it's LA's very own Jonathan Quick. When he's on (which is most of the time, fortunately), he makes mind-blowing saves. When he's not, you get to see him aggressively over-commit and break sticks in a tantrum. Either way, you're guaranteed entertainment.
