Stamkos is WAY better than Ovechkin and it's not even close. A few years ago this was a legit discussion, but Ovechkin isn't the same player he once was. He just looks disinterested whenever I see him play (unless he's out on the powerplay).
It's harder to compare Malkin and Doughty. I'll give this one a tie, both elite and among the best of their position.
Overall, I have to give the edge to the 2008 1st and 2nd picks.
