Malkin is in the Crosby-Ovechkin-Mcdavid tier. Career PPG among active players:

1. Crosby - 1.29
2. Mcdavid - 1.28
3. Malkin - 1.18
4. Ovechin - 1.12

12. Hall - 0.91

Crosby ~ McDavid
Malkin >> Hall

The answer to this question is a definitive "no".

Crosby was better than McDavid and Malkin is/was far better than Hall, so... no. Not even worth a debate.

Yes they would. Hall is much better than Drai.

Draisaitl can’t even run a line, could you imagine him having an MVP season all alone in NJ?

But Hall didn't had "MVP season", and only reason he (unjustly) won MVP is precisely because he played for New Jersey... Fringe playoff team with no other players having big season... Other contenders either played for too strong teams (so they "canceled each other out"), or too weak teams (so didn't make playoffs...). Put him on othr team, and with same production, and same game- he's not even nominated...

By definition he had an MVP season.

McDavid and Hall would obviously not be as good as Crosby and Malkin. Hall is a level or two below the others.
