Nikita Kucherov stands out for safe upside and high-point production when healthy, especially with elite power-play usage. His assist pace and finishing touch keep him near a point-per-game clip, even in tough schedules. The cautions are injury risk and workload management, but the payoff when he’s on the ice remains among the league’s best. Kyle Connor and Mikko Rantanen offer similar consistency, but Kucherov’s top-line mandate and PP1 position give him an edge in most formats.
