NHL Network Top 50 player countdown Nos. 1-10

1. Patrick Kane, RW, Chicago Blackhawks

The best player in the League right now, according to NHL Network's expert panel, is Kane. He's the reigning Art Ross Trophy winner after he set NHL career highs with 46 goals, 60 assists and 106 points. That performance also earned the three-time Stanley Cup champion his first Hart Trophy as League MVP and first Ted Lindsay Award as most outstanding player as voted by NHL players.

Kane, 27, never has scored fewer than 64 points in a full NHL season since the Blackhawks made him the first pick in the 2007 draft. Entering his 10th season in the League, all with Chicago, he has averaged more than a point per game, with 663 (251 goals, 412 assists) in 658 games, and is sixth on the Blackhawks' all-time scoring list, behind Stan Mikita (1,467 points), Bobby Hull (1,153), Denis Savard (1.096), Steve Larmer (923) and Doug Wilson (779).
