Frankie Corrado: “Today we’re taking a have a look at the highest five forward duos within the NHL, and these two players don’t necessarily need to play on the identical line exclusively. They’ll every now and then, but they play on the identical team, and so they are two players that the opponents are not looking for to see on a night-to-night basis.
So let’s take a have a look at number five coming in at number five; it’s Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner of the Toronto Maple Leafs. Say what you would like about playoff success eluding each of those players. They’re each Selkie finalists in their very own careers. Matthews is a two-time 60-goal rating, and Mitch Marner is one in all the premier elite set-up players within the NHL, knocking on the door to 100 points. The Maple Leafs go so far as Austin Matthews and Mitch Marner will take them, and within the regular season, they’ve been phenomenal.
Could the Tampa Bay Lightning Be A Surprise Team This Season?
At number 4, it’s Nikita Kucherov and Brayden Point of the Tampa Bay Lightning. Brayden Point last two years ago, 51 goals, a player who’s knocking on the door to 100 points and Nikita Kucherov, one in all the slickest passers within the NHL, probably the perfect half-wall player on the facility play. And numerous that success has to do with Brayden Point ending those off within the bumper position: two players you don’t need to see, and two players who’ve had Stanley Cup success.
Speaking of Stanley Cup success, coming in at number three, it’s Sasha Barkov and Matthew Tkachuk. Two players which might be extremely difficult to play against in their very own right; Sasha Barkov, probably the greatest centermen within the NHL and he proved that when he won a Stanley Cup.
But a player that disrupts a lot and is so difficult to play against and Matthew Tkachuk is a physical force. Each these guys have been dominant at different times throughout their playoff runs en path to a Stanley Cup, and to have each of those guys on different lines at five-on-five just makes the Florida Panthers that rather more difficult to play against.
Coming in at number two, it’s Nathan MacKinnon and Mikko Rantanen. Size, speed, skill, three of the attributes that describe each of those players once they are at the highest of their game, which could be very often, they’re a nightmare for defenders. They’re too fast, they’re too big, they’re too hard to handle you might be on the mercy of Mikko Rantanen and Nathan MacKinnon.
What Will Connor McDavid Make on His Next Contract?
Coming in at primary. It seems very obvious, but it surely is true, Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl. They combined for 238 points last season, within the regular season, and one other 73 between the 2 within the playoffs, as they were one win away from winning a Stanley Cup. With Leon Draisaitl back in the combo long run for Edmonton, that’s going to be nightmare situations alongside Connor McDavid for defensemen and other players alike within the Western Conference of the NHL.”
