i'd argue Kaprizov over Eriksson ek

The fact that you picked Eriksson Ek over Kaprizov is insane. Kaprizov has completely changed the entire dynamic of that franchise, it’s like they’ve been injected with some life for the first time in years.

probably Ty Smith for NJ honestly

Gallagher for montreal
aho for carolina
barzal for islanders
kaprizov for minnesota

Kaprizov change the whole franchise. just like @tsyls said.

And Matthews can’t be the MVP of the team when the team hasn’t lost a game without him in the lineup.

I would also argue Chychrun over Keller.

And honestly, hot take, but from the games i’ve watched i’d argue Lucic over Gaudreau.
That’s sounds ridiculous, I know 😂

I guess the Ducks don’t exist

Not really much of an argument. I have no idea where OP got his players from, but the Wild's MVP is Kaprizov by several hundred miles.

There is an argument that Eriksson Ek is Minny's MVP...
Point totals dont tell the whole story

No cap but Zacha for the Devils

Hughes, Smith, and maybe Blackwood are in the conversation too

Markstrom IMO over Gaudreau

Kirill Kaprizov gets more hype because he's a rookie and a calder finalist. He has more points, but JEE is pretty much a top 5 defensive center this year. Guess you can't be wrong either way, but I'll keep my choice.

It was the only team I had no clue, maybe Henrique or Comtois.

Thank you.

Zacha's defensive stats puts him considerably behind Hughes. Blackwood is another good option.

im not calling u insane for having eriksson ek but im just saying there could be a case for kaprizov instead

That Matthews argument is so dumb, I don't even know if it's a joke lol.
Chychrun was my 2nd, but it's unreal how Keller carries the offense.

Really? I don't really look at advanced stats but from what I have seen on the ice, Zacha is better than Hughes defensively. If Blackwood didn't have Covid, he would 100% be the MVP.

Pavel Zacha : 1.5 Off, 1.7 xOff, -3.1 Def, -3.6 xDef --- -0.5 xSPAR
Jack Hughes 0.4 Off, 1.6 xOff, 1.1 Def, 1.1 xDef --- 1.7 xSPAR

Hi, someone who has watched the games here

Kaprizov is the MVP over Ek and it's not very close

Without Ek, the Wild are probably still competing for a playoff spot with Arizona and Los Angeles. Without Kaprizov, the Wild are competing for a top 3 pick with Anaheim and Detroit.

Grubauer is the Avs MVP so far and it isn’t close

That is a complete joke, EE has been incredible in both ends
Just because he has fewer points doesn't mean he isnt in the conversation

My guy, I don't know how clear I can be, I'm not basing it off of points. I have *watched* every game. It's Kaprizov, and any argument otherwise is wrong. I know how good Eriksson Ek has been *defensively* (he has not been "incredible" offensively), for several years he's been one of my favorite players on the team. And it's still Kaprizov.

Of late it’s been Terry but I’d probably go Fowler for entirety of season. Woulda been easy if Lindholm didn’t break his wrist.

Anyone can watch all of the games... I watched all the Panthers games and I say that Bobrovsky has been the best player! Just because I say something like that doesn't make it true

I don't know why you have such a vested interest in Ek being labeled as the team MVP, but he's not. I'm sorry if that's hard to hear, the truth often can be.
