It's a very close call but I'd go with Ovechkin. He's got such an incredible all-round game - speed, size, strength, shooting, hitting, it's all there. There are a lot of superb players in the NHL but he is a cut above.

I'd go with Ovie as well, Rick Nash is pretty good too.

thornton is only 29 (born in the summer of '79 - just like a certain CD poster with not even a marginal fraction of his talent)

U 30 really is such a large chunk of the league

I should have been more specific

Who is the best puck handler under the age of 30 right now?

who pulls off the fancier puck handling maneuvers?

Pavel Datsyuk (I'm not sure if he's under 30 though.)

Marian Hossa's thoughts on Pavel Datsyuk

"I don't know why he doesn't have that recognition, but lots of players know he is right there with Ovechkin, Crosby, Malkin," Hossa said. "People think he is not fast, but he is sneaky-fast. He can shoot the puck as well as he can pass. I think he is the best all-around player in the world right now."
