Recently, a poll has gone viral asking a difficult and subjective question: Evgeni Malkin or Patrick Kane?
Comparing the two side by side is difficult because they got tit for tat in almost every category.
Malkin decided to end the debate with this comment.
Malkin and Kane are almost even in terms of hardware with them having the same amount of Cups, Harts, Lindseys, and Conn Smyths with Malkin having only one more Art Ross.
Malkin and Kane have both been some of the top players of the 2010s and are both future Hall of Fame members.
Malkin has 1,229 points in 1,063 games while Kane has 1,237 points in 1,180 games. Last year, the older Malkin posted 83 points in 82 games while Kane scored 57 points in 73 games.
Malkin was the 2nd overall pick in the 2004 NHL draft (drafted behind Alex Ovechkin) while Kane was the 1st overall pick in the 2007 NHL draft.
