CP Top 50 NHL players - Rd 10 runoff

[GreenLantern2814]

Nothing to take the sting out of a loss like a runoff vote. Patrick Kane vs Pavel Datsyuk. Two Johnny Gaudreau comparables, only one can be a 'top 10' player in the league.

Have at you.

The loser will be take 11th place.

Datsyuk, easily. Just as skilled and creative while getting Selke votes every year.

^^^^^^^^^^^

What he said

[GreenLantern2814]

If they both tie, do they share 10th place?

[N-E-B]

Datsyuk, IMO, is not a top ten player n the NHL anymore.

Why? He's got some injury issues, but when he's healthy he's great. One of the few players over a point per game last season, while being solid defensively.

Voted Kane. The injury issues are part of the equation IMO.

Not sure how to factor in Kane's "issues".

He was 6th in PPG last year. His numbers were nearly identical to Kane's actually:

Dats: 63gp-26g-39a-65p
Kane: 61gp-27g-37a-63p

Kane has clutch play, but Datsyuk is a totally complete player, and a leader.
