I don't see a difference between this question and question about the best player.
Simple: If you have alot of good players, the team will win even without that player.

by this definition it won't be a player from a bottom feeder team.Ok, so this is not a discussion on who is the best player, but a player who is most important to his team. Basically, I he would be removed/injured, his team would lose a lot more games.

by this definition ian cole is more important than chychrunNo, because if they still don't win with him he is not good enough.
The path to a Hart trophy and three cups? That's a decent path to be on. He already has the Hart.best for draiseitl would be to sign on another team and become the captain/franchise guy... he is in danger to get the same path as malkin in pit. he is simply to good to be viewed as #2

The problem in choosing McDavid is that it diminishes Draisaitl's play which is equally impressive.
How much does being Captain and the face of the franchise separate the two?
Maybe they dropped because they don't have Kotkaniemi anymoreI think Carey Price might be a good option here. There's some other changes too, but a Stanley Cup Finalist went to bottom-4 team without Price. Yeah sure they were 18th overall last season in regular season. Still more than a bit better than this current .300.
Caps are probably last in their division without Ovechkin.
the answer is the primary goalie for each team. the next answer if you were hoping for something more specific is whoever has the highest ATOI
Thats absolutely not true.
Dallas most valuable player is not their goalie, so is the Isles or Colorado or Edmonton's goalies. Heck, even on Tampa I doubt that Vasilevskyi is the most important to his team, if they were healthy.
He is the most fortunate beneficiary in the NHL having McDavid. Can you just imagine what some of these other top-tier players in the NHL would do having a McDavid hold their hand. It would be insane.Interesting how bad Draisaitl is. That is, people here are clearly saying that you remove McDavid and Draisaitl gets absolutely nothing done.
Most obvious:
Edmonton - McDavid
Toronto - Matthews
Boston - Bergeron
Dallas - Heiskanen
Capitals - Ovechkin
Winnipeg - Helleybuck
Nashville - Saros
Rangers - Fox
Theese are players that are extremely important to their teams and could be the factor beeing a playoff-team or not.Tampa, Florida, Carolina, Colorado have enough depth so 1 players doesnt keep them outta playoffs.
