By HighDanger Trade Value (our all-around value metric), the top of the league is a near-dead heat: Nathan MacKinnon (14.87) grades out a hair ahead of Connor McDavid (14.55) and Leon Draisaitl (14.54). McDavid led the NHL in raw scoring with 138 points, but MacKinnon's two-way value edges him in our model, and he also posts the best 5v5 expected-goals share of the three (59.2% xGF%). Realistically, these three are 1A, 1B, and 1C.
| Player | GP | G | A | P | xGF% | TV |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MacKinnon (COL) | 80 | 53 | 74 | 127 | 59.2% | 14.87 |
| McDavid (EDM) | 82 | 48 | 90 | 138 | 56.5% | 14.55 |
| Draisaitl (EDM) | 65 | 35 | 62 | 97 | 54.7% | 14.54 |
