Patrick Kane is the NHL's best right-winger
Kane's the runaway favorite to win the Hart and Art Ross trophies this season. He put together a 26-game point streak that saw him tally a score in every game from Oct. 17 through Dec. 13 - the longest scoring streak in Blackhawks history. The magic didn't end when the streak did, as he compiled 43 points in the 35 games that followed. He also brings something to the table that Tarasenko doesn't: a championship pedigree. Kane's an integral part of the Blackhawks' nucleus that's won three Stanley Cups in seven seasons, exorcising the demons that came with a 49-year championship drought.
Vladimir Tarasenko is the NHL's best right-winger
Tarasenko may not have a ring, but he's scored 10 goals in 13 postseason games and the Blues are confident enough in his ability to lead them to the promised land that they made him the face of the franchise, inking him to an eight-year, $60-million extension. Tarasenko's great hands and creativity make him one of the NHL's most electrifying players and a nightmare to defend in the offensive zone. At just 24 years of age, we're only beginning to to see the potential of a player who's eclipsed the 30-goal plateau in back-to-back seasons.
