The National Hockey League is a professional association of Canada and US clubs. Appeared in 1917 and became one of the first professional league in the world, which united 4 teams. IN North America It stands along with the main sports leagues of other disciplines: NFL, MLB, NBA, MLS. In the 2017/18 season, 31 teams that represented 30 cities of the United States and Canada fought for the Stanley Cup.
According to the results of the Stanley Cup season 2017/18 in the ranking best players NHL was just two Russians: and Alexander Radulov, Evgeny Kuznetsov did not pretend several points to the rating.
Alexander Ovechkin according to TSN, became the 22nd in the ranking. The hockey player was notable in the list of the best NHL players, gaining only 70 points and 49 heads in the season, and the playoff series has passed media. It is not easy to admit it, but Alexander rolls to middle peasants. We will believe that the sniper will recover from the state of professional degradation, otherwise we will lose it.
In the first half of the NHL season, Alexander Ovechkin lagged behind the number of throws in the target from Vladimir Tarasenko. OVI divided the championship with the number of scored washers, and it is impossible not to mention 3 hockey player hat.
Alexander Radulov demonstrated not the best results in the "regular market", therefore it turned out to be at the end of the rating, but perfectly showed himself in the team and held the playoffs very decently. Radows grows directly in proportion to how the hopes grow regarding his game.
Evgenia Kuznetsov did not have enough multiple points to get into the final rating.
In the first half of the season, Andrei Vasilevsky was shown from the Tempa Bay team. On the account of the goalkeeper 26 wins, 2.04 goal per match and 93.5% of reflected shots on the goal.
Nikita Kucherov from the same "Tampa" became the best player of the first half of the NHL 2017/18 season. His heads of heads and glasses (on average per game) were pleasantly surprised. Hockey player distinguished himself and gives high hopes. Cucherov favorably affect the team, and during the season he played perfectly with Stephen Stamkos. Obviously, Nikita Kucherov is the most effective player "Regular".

Russian goalkeepers NHL 2017/18 (regular championship)
Statistics of the playoff series NHL 2017/18
2014 can enter the story as a year when the star rose Andrei Vasilevsky. The talented goalkeeper lives in the capital of Bashkiria, we learned much earlier. However, in the past year, Vasilevsky rose to the step above, having ceased to be just a young and promising player. It is symbolic that at the beginning of the year he brought from Malmo the last reward in youth hockeyLike a breakdown of this page. Vasilevsky finally moved into an adult hockey with its amplitude of lifting and falling. For how Andrei played in the Gagarin Cup draw and on the Debut World Cup, he can be raised "excellent" without tensioners.
Vasilevsky put at the World Championships not a point, but a beautiful comma. In order not to spoil the impression of the year, he needed to pass the AHL test. Up until December, it seemed that the young Russian goalkeeper drowned in the lower overseas league. What a dozen best can we talk about if Vasilevsky even in the Farm Club "Tampa Bay" loses competition? However, the Ufa Wunderkinda took only a month to break into our rating. Having played at 30,000 spectators and becoming a player of the week in Ahl, he received a challenge to Tampa, where he showed himself in all its glory. . Until Nabokov sits on his back Varlamov heal injury Khobobin fails the season, and Bobrovsky Just begins to recruit the former conditsa, Vasilevsky finishes the year in the status of the strongest Russian goalkeeper.
In the applications of NHL clubs for the season-2018/19, 55 hockey players are listed with Russian citizenship, but, of course, not all of them will have the opportunity to express themselves in the course of the regular season. Too high competition in the strongest hockey league of the world, business is too serious to once again risk and experiment.
But the expectations from the game Top 10 Russians are the highest. How do they justify at the start of the marathon distance?
Ten highest paid Russian NHL Russians in the 2018/19 season
1. Alexander Ovechkin (33 years old, striker, "Washington") - 10 million dollars (the average salary under the contract - 9.54 million dollars)
2. Evgeny Kuznetsov (26, striker, "Washington") - 10 (7,8)
3. Evgeny Malkin (32, striker, "Pittsburgh") - 9.5 (9.5)
4. Ilya Kovalchuk (35, striker, Los Angeles) - 8.5 (6.25)
5. Alexander Radulov (32, striker, Dallas) - 8 (6.25)
6. Vladimir Tarasenko (26, striker, "Saint Louis") - 7 (7.5)
7. Sergey Bobrovsky (30, Goalkeeper, "Columbus") - 6.2 (7,425)
8. Artemy Panarin (26, striker, "Columbus") - 6 (6)
9. Dmitry Orlov (27, Defender, Washington) - 6.5 (5,1)
10. Semyon Varlamov (30, goalkeeper, "Colorado") - 5.5 (5.9)
For comparison: the smallest contract among Russian Nhlovtsev has defender "Calgary" Rinat Valiev - 650 thousand dollars (designed until the end of the 2018/19 season).
Ovechkin
Having reached the age of Christ, Alexander the Great fulfilled the dream of all his life, having finally became the owner of the Stanley Cup. Other purposes, except for the protection of the title, and can not be. In addition, Ovechkin can be the first in the history of the League by the player who won the "Maurice Rishar Trophy" (a prize of the best Snieper of the regular championship) in the eighth time.
He began the season of OVI for health: 6 matches - 9 points for performance (6 washers + 3 Results). And, in addition, he managed to enter the top ten league hockey players in the entire history of the number of heads in most (232 washers).
Kuznetsov
Ovechkin's partner Evgeny Kuznetsov gained at the point more (10). The hosts of the club and fans do not count without reason that the striker, which is in the heyday, this season will increase its status to the "superstar".
- 83 points in the past regular championship (personal record) allowed Kuznetsov to get only among the 20 best NHL players on productivity, - notes one of America's leading hockey journalists Tarik El Bashir.- But the superstar is a person who is always the first comes to mind when you think about some kind of team. The one who can alone bring the result in one game or in the playoff series.
Malkin
On October 16, Pittsburgh lost to "Vancueru" (2: 3), and the three-time winner of Stanley Malkin's Cup earned a point for effectiveness. This is his 939th point in the overseas career, and now Evgeny enters the top 100 of the most efficient players in the history of NHL. Before the Recorder of Wayne Grettski (2857 points), he, of course, do not reach, but to become the best among Russians - quite bye. While this position is held by Sergey Fedorov's career for a long time (1179 points).
And yet: if "Pittsburgh" conquers Stanley Cup, Malkin will become the only Russian who possess four champion perrsts.
Kovalchuk
The last 5 seasons of Kovalchuk spent in the KHL, so the experts remain only to guess, whether the veteran will be able to rest in the framework of the requirements of the Zaocian League. On the high places His "Los Angeles" does not count (last season the team barely clogged behind the playoffs, but she flew out in the first circle, the victims of 4 defeats from Las Vegas), but for increasing entertainment - quite.
The contribution of Kovi should be at least 30 washers and 20 "assists" in the regular season. In the first 6 matches, he scored twice and gave twice. Well, not bad for starters.
Radulov
The last season "Dallas" failed (6th, the penultimate place in his division and the span past the playoffs), but the Radulov was one of the best as part of: 72 points for effectiveness. Now he is obliged not only to preserve, but also to strengthen the status of the leader - and on ice, and outside the site. And his team is to go out in the playoffs. In the 4th time for the last 11 seasons.
At the moment, Radles with 10 points (4 + 6) - in the top ten most productive players of the season, and Dallas, who scored exactly 50% of points - in the playoff zone. That is, so far everything goes according to plan.
Tarasenko
At the end of last season, Vladimir was seriously injured, transferred surgery and was restored for a long time. Yes, and in general, the season did not set himself - neither him personally, no team who did not get into the playoffs. The task of Tarasenko is to return the status of the best team scorer (this is 75-80 points at least) and pull it out into the decisive stage.
While things come with creak: only 2 abandoned washers. "Blues" - at the bottom of the table: 5 defeats in 6 matches and the 28th community (out of 31).
Bobrovsky
For 6 years spent in "Columbus", Bobrovsky took the "Vesina Trophy" twice (prize best goalkeeper Championship), and it is with his game that the success of the team in the latest history (3 participation in the playoffs over the past 5 years) is associated.
The current season is the last for Sergey under the contract, and it is most likely to extend it. They say that the next summer goalkeeper plans to enter the market of free agents and try to knock out the conditions no worse than the highest paid goalkeeper NHL Carey Price, which receives $ 10.5 million in Montreal.
But the beginning of the season somehow did not ask. Bobrovsky updated its own anti-record: in the match against Tampa, the Russian goalkeeper for the first time in his career missed 8 piles. However, it is all particular, especially since in the 5 first games his team won 3 victories. That is, in general, the flight is normal.
Panarin
Bobrovsky's teammate, scorer, merry, honeycomb and pets of the public Artemia Panarin, too, most likely, will discern with its current team at the end of the season. He wants his next contract not in provincial Ohio, but somewhere in New York, Los Angeles or Miami, although it assures that he really likes everything in Columbus.
The club puts in front of Artemia to type 80-90 points in the regular market (it was 81 in the past), and 6 of them already on the account. Well, in the playoffs you need to go further than last spring. One comforts: In the first round, "Columbus" then gave way to the future owner of the Stanley Cup "Washington".
Orlov
The only defender in the "Russian Top". Reliable, stable, still young, but already experienced and titled. The only claim to it is unimportant in the attack. 31 last year's point for performance, according to wishes coaching staff, Must turn into 35-40. And the rest of Dmitry everything is fine.
Varlamov
"Colorado", apparently, is preparing to part with a Russian goalkeeper, for which it will be the 9th season in the club. The contract ends, replacement (26-year-old German Philip Grubauer) Ready.
However, Varlamov is especially and does not rest. Money money, but you need to think about the soul. More precisely, career achievements. And they are not like that: for 8 previous seasons - only 2 participation in the playoffs, and then with the departure in the first circle. 30 years - the age of heyard and, despite the increased trauma, Semyon has every reason to count on an agreement with a more ambitious club.
Nikita Kucherov (25 years old, striker, "Tampa Bay", annual salary - 5.5 million dollars, secondary contract - 4.76)
Kucherov in the first Russian tent of the salary is not included, but it is temporary. He is a real superstar. Last season, "regularly" Nikita conquered the rank of 100 points, and his Tampa became the third in the championship and reached the finals of the playoffs of the conference, where in the dramatic struggle lost to Washington (3: 4).
Kucherov's tasks for this season are the most ambitious: victory in the Stanley Cup, "Maurice Rishar Trofi" and "Art Ross Trophy" (the prize for the greatest number of points on the GOL + PAS system in the regular championship) to personal use.
And yes - on the "meager" contract Nikita should not pay special attention, it acts last year. According to the new, calculated until 2027, striker will earn $ 76 million (9.5 million on average).
The best Russian hockey players have been a real decoration of the National Hockey League. Our talented hockey players continue to glorify the Russian Hockey School, seeking all sorts of heights in the NHL to this day.
