Everyone talks about Crosby and McDavid but Kucherov needs to be mentioned

All the hype surrounds Sidney Crosby with 15 goals in 15 games played this year, along with Conor McDavid having 29 points in 23 games played for the Oilers.

No one seems to be talking about young superstar Nikita Kucherov, who plays for the Tampa Bay Lightning. He has been taking command of this team ever since Steven Stamkos went down with an injury. Kucherov has been playing well period. He has 11 goals and 15 assists in 22 games played.

 Along with Crosby and McDavid, he is also averaging over a point per game this season. He should be definitely be in the MVP talks with them, although Kucherov probably won't win it.
