They're all good and all have players next to them that help them fill the net. Of that list aho probably has the worst supporting cast. I'd take any of them really.

On the powerplay its ovi and even strength its matthews. Overall it's still ovi though, his talent at 5v5 and on the PP is so special

I don’t really think it’s “clear cut.” There are two guys tied at 43 and ovechkin has 42. Then you got guys like Aho who has 35 with obviously less talent around him. Then there’s Mackinnon.

First off, I only count 3 of these players as Natural Goal Scorers which to me means they consistently have more goals than assists. Those three are Ovechkin, Matthews, and Aho and to me, the order goes:
1. Ovechkin because of his stretch between January 7th and February 8th where he had 6 multi-goal games 3 of which were hat-tricks one single goal game and 4 goalless games totalling 16 goals in 32 days which includes his teams week break and the All-star suspension.
2. Matthews because as a biased Habs Fan I can't put him first although even with removing my bias Ovi's better but as a hockey fan I know he's better than Aho
3. Aho in the future I could see him potentially passing Matthews or maybe Matthews becomes more all-around and is no longer just a Goal Scorer but as of now nope.

Matthew's is the most efficient 5vs5 goal scorer iirc.

Game 7 Stanley cup finals. 3rd period. Tie game. You can pick only one. Pasternak. Matthews. Ovechkin. Everyone picks ovechkin. Clear cut. No debate.

I think it’s very much a debate.
