(Newswire.net — November 12, 2020) — In a league filled with top talent and amazing athleticism, it is tough to name the best of the best when it comes to the NHL. However, there are some players who can be singled out as adding more to the game and their team than others. Here we take a look at some of the league’s best players. They are the players who make the league what it is and are also the players you need to watch and track when planning your betting strategy one you have checked out the bookies reviews and decided on which site to use.

John Tavares 

The Maple Leaf’s center man is one of the NHL’s greats. Whilst he is best known for his time with the New York Islanders, it is the Maple Leafs who are close to his heart and the news that he was joining his boyhood team in 2019 was met with elation by Leafs fans across the world. As well as being a role model for those who watch the sport, Tavares is also a fierce competitor both for his club and for his country. He is a sure-fire bet for success when you’re looking to get in on the action, and has remained a bettor’s favorite throughout his career.

Sidney Crosby 

Nicknamed ‘Sid the Kid’, Crosby is one of the game’s hottest prospects and is widely regarded as one of the greatest hockey players of all time. In February 2018 he became the 95th player to reach 400 NHL career goals – an achievement that has made many bettors a dime or two over the years. He has been inspirational in a Penguin’s jersey and has – quite rightly – secured himself a place in the NHL’s All-Decade First Team.

Connor McDavid 

Captain of the Edmonton Oilers, McDavid is widely considered to be one of the safest bets when it comes to placing a wager on performance. Many believe him to be the best player in the world at this point in time, and his statistics go a long way to support this level of acclaim. He has twice won the Art Ross Trophy and the Ted Lindsay Award. There is every chance that McDavid could become the greatest player ever to grace the league. Many think he will truly become the undisputed best of the best!

Alex Ovechkin 

“The Great Eight” is widely seen as one of the league’s best, and perhaps even the best hockey player in the world by some. He is a pretty sure bet when it comes to shots – he reached 5,000 shots on goal faster than any other player in NHL history. And it’s not just his shot rate that is worth getting in on – he has a pretty good goal rate too and has scored over 20 career hat tricks. As a Stanley Cup winner and clearly a cut above the rest, he is well worth investment as he takes to the ice and as one of the best of the best in the NHL, he should feature in every bettor’s game plan.
