Make a round 2-7 video 😊😊😊

Or do it as a series, lol.

Or 2-3, then 4-7, to keep the videos shorter.

“Give the edge to Kucherov” after being 1/3 players with 40G 100A in a szn and outpacing Pastrnak in 8/9 last reg szn and playoffs

Yeah.

Yeah exactly that’s why I’d give the edge to Kucherov lol

Nothing against bergerons offensive game but if you had stamkos and Point as your primary centers you're going to eat. That being said id still give it to Kucherov but it is close ish

[@mattfilmer2951]

what year

[@Arttu_Viinikka]

76

[@AscendedXSaiyan]

Slight correction because he wasn't. He was the only one to win it on the losing team, based off his play in the *FINAL* A total of 5 players so far have won on the losing team

McDavid wouldn’t be the first skater in nhl history to win the Conn Smythe on the losing team, Reggie Leach did it in 1976.

[@Jackthgun]

Mcdaivd would be the second skater to win in a losing team after Reggie Leetch

[@connormitchell8884]

Yo Charlie coyles so good he’s both a defenseman and a center

Lmao

[@DerektheMotorider]

Thanks for mentioning Robert Thomas. Made the roster draft +1, helped win the cup in his rookie year. Continues to improve, plays both power play and penalty kill. While hitting point per game mark.

This would be a good series to continue

[@AdenM4419]

Could you make a video on your mock draft and who you would pick for each team

[@ohtristan_]

Yeah I’d love the rounds 2-7 video

Great video. You could do another tomorrow by picking the same list but using the best career thus far and you'd likely get a different player in every spot. Thanks.

Wyatt Johnson is amazing and will be great player for a long time. but after watching Boeser this season he was defiantly better offensively and he was a defensive beast doing all the little things

[@slipperynodd578]

I was hoping Caufield had a shot then I looked up 15th OA picks and I saw JT Miller, Erik Karlsson and Dylan Larkin 💀

1:35 WEEELLLLLLL he did look back a little bit...

[@davidfitzpatrick6535]

Honestly if Im MCdavid I feel like being given the conn smythe but not winning the cup would almost be a slap to the face and a participation trophy.

[@LeSyd1984]

And it would be a correct feeling, lol!

[@obi-wankenobi8413]

I’m pretty sure that’s what the 5 players who won it previously all said one of them “I didn’t even care about that trophy”

[@cadena2855]

He’d be the second skater to ever win the Conn Smythe on the losing team behind Reggie Leach of the Flyers, first Center man though. Barkov has also already won the Selke this year. Great video!

McDavid unless we’re going whole career it’s Sid but when one player has a whole career and the other has had half a career there’s not much he can do there.

[@serialmiller1987]

I know McDavid is the greatest player in the game today; however, I feel that Sidney Crosby does deserve an honorable mention due to the fact that he had an unreal season at the age of 36. I am genuinely curious to see how McDavid's game ages compared to Sid's.

[@serialmiller1987]

@@hockey_all_star5895 The list is a subjective list of who the best player from this year drafted between 1-32. You can make an argument for any player who was drafted in those positions that played this season. I'm a Penguins fan, so I would say Sidney Crosby would be my choice at #1, based on the fact that he had a remarkable season for a player at 36 years old. McDavid is the consensus #1, but I'd agree a case could be made for Matthews as well.
