Contributing 1 goal a game is huge, PP or not. As much as we hate home he's still elite.
Side note: hey Barry Melrose way to hold Stamkos back because he was a kid. Idiot.

You could make arguments for Toews and Giroux (I'd definitely pick toews, not sure about Giroux), but that's about it.
Get this guy somebody with guts.

All Forwards I would "pick" over Ovechkin in terms of total game, play at both ends of the ice, etc. Not even going to defensemen or goalies of which there are several I'd take before Ovechkin if I was, for example, starting to build a team around tomorrow.
