"Not sure how a guy with a Hart trophy, 4 straight seasons of 100+ point pace (behind only McD in PPG) and 93 points in his last 71 playoff games isn't a superstar.
- AdamFrench"

Not to mention 2 - 50goal seasons and would have 4 if it wasn't for covid.
Nate has never had a 100pts or 50goals.
AM34 has 1 - 50goal season and 1 - 100pts season

The problem with Kuch is he's been injured to much last 3 seasons

Draisaitl has a better pt/g in regular season and playoffs then Nate, AM34 and Kuch

He also has a pretty solid teammate... that is the reason Drai doesn't make the list either...

My list is guys who singlehandedly can tilt series and or flat out take them...

When McDavid went down with injury in 2020, Draisaitl dominated in McDavids absence, playing with 2 nobodies.
Draisaitl is unfairly devalued because McDavid is on the same team.

Yeah! Guys like Richard Park!

How can you include Makar and Shesterkin when they're the only ones you didn't list a nickname for? Seems to be a staple for superstars (The Great One, Super Mario, Sid the Kid, The Great 8, etc.). Until that changes, your list is bogus and I am unsubscribing from your newsletter.

For Makar we tried Spiderman but that hasn't caught on even though he sort of skates like you imagine Spidey would and looks like him off the ice. Nic Aube-Kubel called him "Bobby" - that might stick.

Take over a series like AM34? LOL

Curious

who are probably not going to be hall of farmers when their careers in the NHL ended…

EK I didn't know there was a hall of farmers.

Of course there is! "They are out-standing in their field".

You make it sound like AM35 won a series or series before.

Thank goodness a couple people caught this. Thought i was going to have to be the bearer of bad news to these folks

Robert Reichel was great with Ziggy Palffy for the Isles.
Eberle is still a good player…just didn’t have much luck on his team’s choices.

Sounds like Malkin when Crosby goes down. A stud. History repeating itself.

What about the great Michal Jordan?
3 points in 18 games at the World Jrs, but was a basketball player in his previous sport where he also had an E in his first name.

Well the simple answer is that a star player can dominate a tournament any given year and look super. But to be super playing the best of the decade before and after him is rare. So yeah many can be stars in the NHL but few get to be super stars.

The guy I'm talking about has better pts/g in the first round of the playoffs as well

WTF is that list.

Total points over the last 4 years in the NHL.

McGeez,
DraiDrai
Kaner
Hubi
MacK

Even Marchand has more points compared to Matthews. Now add to that list Makar, Crosby, Ovechkin, Kucherov, Shesterkin and that list is closed.

The definition of a superstar is one of a game changer. A player that could change a game by himself. Everyone on that list fits that category. Now of course the order could be different.

1- McGeez,
2- Makar
3- DraiDrai
4- Matthews
5- Shesterkin
6- MacK
7- Kucherov
8- Crosby
9- Kane
10- Marchand
11- Ovechkin
12 - Huberdeau

And quite frankly, I'm pretty sure I'm biased with Crosby and Ovechkin so that could be 2 less players.

I'm amazed it took more than 2 comments to underline that hall of farmers. This is incredible jounalism. 🤣🤣🤣

Oh that and John Dere Stepan ...

You easterners oblivious to what Draisaitl did in the 2nd & 3rd round?
While playing on one leg? 6pts in the 3rd round in 4game, barely able to skate
