You can argue he choked in the final games, I think Florida just knows how to play him well. That team is nothing without McDavid lol.

The other two in the conversation are players who have three cup rings between them. They had good teams with them, but McDavid wasn't without help either. Draisaitl is clearly an elite player. RNH and Hyman are very good. Bouchard produces a lot of points.
Edmonton also got to the cup finals through a lot of smoke and mirrors, and in their first run was lucky to get to 7 after being down in the series. Look at what happened when they played a team that was actually good and played to their abilities, in 22-23.
