Who has been our most important player this year?

[Ceremony]

Only four realistic options here. For the past couple of weeks the main board seems to think it's one player but I think it's pretty obviously someone else.

I've allowed you to vote for two players to (hopefully) get a clearer image of first and second.

All of them. It's alarming how much dead weight this roster has seen this year. It feels a little wrong to ignore Toews too since he's the least injured.

 

[GirardSpinorama]

Nate or georgiev.

When I looked at the stats I was surprised he had as many points as he does.

I gotta go with MacK and Georgie. That wasn't an easy decision though, because Mikko really held down the fort when MacK got injured.

Makar has been injured a ton this season and you can tell he's been playing through a lot of it. Bednar really ran him into the ground in the early part of this season. I know other guys being out on defense was the reason for Bednar doing that, but I just hope it doesn't cost us now that the playoffs are a weekish away.

Not enough love for our 50 goal scorer IMO. That aint small potatoes.

Not enough love for our 50 goal scorer IMO. That aint small potatoes.

Plus he kept us alive when the entire top 6 was injured. When nate was out as well. Everyone is forgetting that part of the season where we had mikko make up like 50% of our offense/goals

 

[CobraAcesS]

I just picked my favorite player lol. This year the three headed monster has carried us with help from a NHL goaltender.

 

[AvsFan29]

Rantanen took charge of this team when Mack (and 10 other players) went down with injury. We're likely a wildcard team right now if Rantanen didn't have a huge season.

 

[JoeSakic13]

With Landeskog being out, Captain Melanoma has been clutch.

 

[Pokecheque]

It's down to Mikko and Alexandar and I give the edge to the goalie there. Those two kept the team in it when virtually everyone else was out. They were barely squeaking with timely goals from one guy and great goaltending. Ironically things fell apart for a good stretch there following the holiday break when Nate and Cale more or less came back. IIRC during that stretch, Georgiev was not quite on his game.

 

[wayninja]

Tough between Mikko and Nate, but I think it's Nate.

 

[LOFIN]

Mikko, he put the team on his back when the rest of the top-6 was injured.

 

[RECKLESS]

For this seasons success I salute Mikko.
He has done the weightlifting the whole season long while others have fallen, after the shortest summer, while having his best season yet beating all sorts of records. Beast mode! Nothing short of incredible.

 

[Cypher]

Georgie ... if we still had Kuemper, we'd be a lottery team

 

[TruePowerSlave]

MacKinnon no doubt about it. Having a monster season.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Mackinnon by a country mile.

Dude has been on a mission all year. Rantanen has had elite stretches for sure, but Mack has been far more consistently great for us. George has been good as well.

Makar hasnt been healthy enough. It's a legitimate knock against him this year.

 

[cccoltsicehockey]

The injury fairy

 

[sethro109]

The injury fairy

What are you talking about? That SOB has been in the stands with a sniper rifle honed in on our players all season.

That mother f***er has been the MVP of the rest of the central and west.

 

[El Travo]

MacK took the reins back when he returned, but Mikko was so important early in the season when everyone else was injured that I don't know where we'd be without him.

 

[Balthazar]

Mack was our best player but missed games.

Rants was elite but took too many nights off despite production.

Georgiev got no help from Francouz in the 2nd half of the season and I can count on one hand the number of bad games that he had all year.

Dude never played 1G minutes before and he's been super reliable and a difference maker. So him.

 

[UnkleKraker]

IMO Mikko will go down as one of the greats. I would put him up with Hejduk and Tanguay on the wing.

Plus he kept us alive when the entire top 6 was injured. When nate was out as well. Everyone is forgetting that part of the season where we had mikko make up like 50% of our offense/goals

 

[John Mandalorian]

To be fair. Yes, Rantanen buoyed the cause when MacKinnon was out. But also. Since MacKinnon has been back, Rantanen has had A LOT of quiet nights. It's still a credit to him though for bridging the Avs over the divide when MacKinnon was out.

 

[TruePowerSlave]

IMO Mikko will go down as one of the greats. I would put him up with Hejduk and Tanguay on the wing.

Rantanen is better that both, best winger in Avs history.

 

[Balthazar]

Georgiev being 3rd in votes is kind of a joke TBH
