2nd Best Player Per Team

Personally just as a Canucks fan that has watched a lot of games Horvat was better than Boeser this year.

That could be. I rated Horvat and Boeser as relatively even. Boeser had a higher Pts/G, but Horvat had a higher TOI and might have been more of a "complete" player. I didn't watch either enough and valued them evenly, so I went with the baseline stat.

Guentzel was miles better than Malkin this year. Interested on why you put Malkin over him though

To be honest, that was a lazy shortcut pick because I've always seen it as a static order (1. Crosby 2. Malkin 3. Letang 4. Guentzel). One of the few teams that I didn't even bother to look at the stat sheet or give a moment of time to think about usage/context. But looking back now, had I used the same decision-making criteria (70% pts/game, 30% other factors), I'd probably put Malkin & Guentzel at a tie. In pts/g, Malkin's 1.06 > Guentzel's 0.93. However, Jake was more defensively responsible. To note that Jake scored more goals than Malkin, but was on a line with Crosby (he'd still be real good without, but less good).

Kind of a toss up for someone who's not watching Pens games.

Ya I get where you’re coming from. But ask most pens fans, Malkin had a bad year and Guentzel had an incredible year. A lot of pens fans would agree that Guentzel had a better season then Malkin. Geno was invisible for most of the season (to his standards) played zero defense and took wayyyyy too many dumb penalties. Hard to know that stuff though if you don’t watch the games and only look at the stats on paper
