You think Jaden Schwartz should be an option for 20th best player in the NHL?

 

[Pitaya]

This kind of list is a popularity contest

Yeah sure, Draisaitl is better than Crosby lmfao

Next well hear how Pettersson is better than half the list without ever having gone PPG

Draisaitl just won the Ross - is likely going to sweep the awards - and very possibly would have won the Ross with the best point output in the past....i don't even know, 25 years, since 1996 probably?

Everyone knows how good Crosby is - but there's nothing wrong with giving a guy like Drai his due after his absolutely fabulous season - which comes on the heels of another great season last year where he scored 50+50, so no reason to claim it's a "one hit wonder" either.

As to EP - you should go back to the first few threads. Some people were arguing he should be top 3-5. I agree with you on that point.

I mean i dont tend to vote whos the better player based on one season - if Im letting you draft a team for one season youre gonna take Draisaitl over Crosby?

I understand Draisaitl had an insane season but I still wouldnt say hes better than Crosby or even Kucherov

I might honestly, for one season only. I still would pick Crosby first for playoffs (first overall tbh). But it's hard to overlook Drai's raw output the past 2 seasons, and this past year especially. And it's impressive what he did both with McDavid, and than on his own line.

I honestly think he warrants consideration. Kucherov is up there too. Personal preference who you pick is what it comes down to imo.

I'd probably take Crosby myself for one season - but i'm a big fan of his and tend to have very optimistic views for certain players I like. But objectively speaking - I think picking either of Drai or Kucherov ahead based on past 2 seasons is fine.

Draisaitl has been better than Crosby the last 2 years. In fact I'd say over the past 2 years he's been arguably the #1 player, at least thats what the numbers show.

And yeah unfortunately I do think there are going to be some mental gymnastics for Pettersson. He shouldn't go until the 23-25 range.

guess I should have included a sarcasm emoji...

This is getting tricky

 

[Merrrlin]

I went Pie, but I really think Point and Aho could be here too.

if it were a popularity contest then Crosby wouldve been ahead of Drai

 

[TS Quint]

Bruins fans out in full force in this poll.

Huberdeau hiding down in Florida is very underrated for what he has done on that team for the past couple years.

 

[Pitaya]

I meant moreso recency bias but same difference since ones fresh in the mind

 

[KoozNetsOff 92]

Jones and Josi ahead of Pietrangelo and Carlson is a joke.

Jones ahead of them is reality. You can argue Josi though.

Jones is a top-3 defenseman

 

[Howe Elbows 9]

Where would you rank Barkov and Huberdeau among the top 30 players?

Reality based on what? Pts? Norris finishes? Playoff performance?

 

[TS Quint]

With the way voting is going currently, he’s far better than Pettersson. Better than Aho, Bergeron and Stone.

Draisaitl wasnt better than Crosby last year. He was well below


He outscored him by 5 points I'm 3 games while having huge question Mark's surrounding his ability to deliver on his own line(which he answered this season). Crosby also had an elite 2 way season coming in 4th in selke voting while draisaitl was still a weak defensive player than. Draisaitl moved past Crosby this season though due to the huge production gap

 

[FartMilk]

Ahh, the what have you done for me lately HFBoards special.

Polls.

 

[Addison Rae]

Pettersson add Hamilton

 

[Howe Elbows 9]

Ok, but I included Barkov in my question to see if you think Huberdeau should be ranked higher relative to Barkov, or if you think it's just Huberdeau who isn't getting enough respect.
