Top 5 Analysis
Connor McDavid
It’s hard to argue against McDavid. He has won the trophy tho past two years and has only been in the league for 3 seasons. The Oilers made no significant moves in the off season so McDavid will have to be the man again and I’m sure that wont be a problem for him.
Sidney Crosby
Its been 5 years since Crosby last broke 100 points in a season. Thats not to say he wasnt productive as hes been over a point per game hitting at least 84 or more during that span and winning back to back cups.
Nikita Kucherov
He has been in the league for 5 years and each year his point totals have increased with last year being his best hitting 100. Stamkos has thrived in his role as setup man with Kuch being on the receiving end of Stammers passes.
Evgeni Malkin
Always forgotten on the Pens and that’s going to happen when you play on a team and same position as Crosby. But Malkin had his highest point total in 5 years last season hitting 98 and plays on a line with Phil “The Thrill” Kessel
Patrick Kane
It sucks to say this but the Hawks best days with this roster are behind them. Kane is incredible but the Hawks have to many questions up and down their roster and did nothing to address it during the off season.
Outside Top Ten with Good Chance
Taylor Hall – 24.00 odds
Hall had an amazing year last season winning the Hart Trophy. In his second season with the Devils he looked great and will only get better. He has an outside chance at winning the Art Ross as the young Devils improve around him.
Be sure to go to Sports Interaction and take advantage of these odds which will change as we get closer to the start of the season.
