I think it’s Zibanejad by a pretty good margin right now but I absolutely take EP for the future.
I’d take EP over Z now and in the future.
Unless Zibanejad is playing Philly of course.
I’m not really that familiar with the third player Evan Stevens though tbh.

Zibanejad has quickly become one of the most overrated players in hockey
the bulk of the guys scoring over the last two years have come against the same 10-12 teams (take a guess which ones, hint, theyre not contenders)
guy went from a #2C to a top-10 center in 100 games...

Evan Stevens plays a more well rounded game imo so he's my pick. Very close poll though
Pavel Buchnevich
Drury and Laviolette Must Go
Why don’t you post the splits since you referenced them?
Besides, why does it matter? Points are points.

Points are definitely points
and I would but id have to get to it later, too nice out to sit down and go through The game logs
Im not trying to say he isnt a 1C, but hes not some top-10 C like hes been advertised as (especially without Panarin)

Here’s Zibby’s stat line over the last 2 seasons prior to this one compared to Matthew’s. And he played fewer games than the rest of the top 20 except for 2 other players. I’d say based on his stats he’s definitely in top 10 C territory during this time frame.

44% of Zibs points have come from 2 games

Still made his stat line more in line with where he was the last 2 seasons. He was suffering from Covid otherwise he’d probably started off where he left off.
I think this is still Pettersson though.

It's Pettersson.
Except if it's against the Flyers. Then I'll take Mika Z.

As a Rangers fan, the correct answer is Pettersson.
Zibanejad is great but his extremely bunchy scoring is a feature, not a bug.

I don't know what the f*** you're babbling about. This season he's had a ridiculous amount of points against Philly. But he had Covid after effects to start the season. Last season he was on pace for about 60 goals and 100 points over 82 games, including 5 goal game against Washington. You don't hit 100 points in a season just by getting points against bad teams.
Yeah but this season it's exaggerated. And last season that wasn't even really the case. Maybe in seasons prior.

Only on HFBoards does a guy with 41 goals and 75 points in 57 games last season lose a poll to a guy who has never cracked PPG
EP going forward but right now it’s Zibanejad. Not his fault he’s played the Flyers 3 of out of 6 times since saying he finally feels like himself again. Dude has put up 16 points in 6 games since saying that but he’s still “not proven” and the first 25 games of the season where he was clearly playing at 50% completely erases what he did last year, and the year before, where he put up 74 points and led his team in scoring by 20 points, something EP40 has never come close to doing. This isn’t even mentioning the gap Zibanejad has over EP40 defensively and in goal scoring
If you say it’s EP40, you’re wrong. Going forward I take Pettersson but there’s no way you can twist him into being better right now. There is no argument for Pettersson being better right now

12 of those 16 points in 6 games have come in 2 games. He's played at the level you're describing once.

And has EP ever played at that level? You don’t even realize you’re proving my point

Nice did you also know they don’t play together at 5v5 and Zibanejad led the team by 20 points the season before Panarin was here? At this point it’s like still saying Draisaitl needs McDavid

EP.
Like I said in other thread - I'm just unsure of who Zib is. Last year came out of nowhere, this year was pathetic to start season, and now 15 points in 5 games. Once he can convince me a bit more what his usual standard is, i'll be more likely to pick him in a comparison like this
