Definitely not Voracek, Barkov, or McDavid. Any of the others would be an alright choice.

Im guessing McDavid wins, they seem to be putting him front and center on some of their ads. I hope its Pavelski, being a sharks fan. If you are American you better vote for him!!! jkjk

The cover vote is like anti-hype for me. Slap someone on there and give me real news.

I will never vote for a Shark player... guess I have to root against America.

It's likely going to be McDavid since has the most name recognition out of all the candidates. Plus he's the only candidate from a Canadian team.

If Tarasenko wins, I'll have to get this game. Even though I said I'm most likely skipping this year. Have to rep my Blues. Especially my favorite player that I marveled over since he was drafted.

# 7 Cossin75 @ 04/28/16 12:54 AM

Jamie Benn is my choice.. Pavelski could be a good one too

# 8 Gotmilkman24 @ 04/28/16 12:56 AM

GO PAV! Cleanest hockey player there is that gets the job done.

# 9 peter21 @ 04/28/16 06:20 PM

I think it'll be Benn or McDavid. I'd prefer Benn. Guy is damned talented.

# 10 MizzouRah @ 04/28/16 11:31 PM

Tarasenko!

# 11 bwiggy33 @ 04/29/16 03:45 AM

The Big Pavelski

I think even if he doesn't win the vote, McDavid will somehow wind up being on the cover. The NHL should look to build around one of the next great players in the NHL and who better to start with than McDavid. Only thing that would be better would be a dual cover of McDavid and Eichel

# 13 Sheba2011 @ 04/30/16 07:52 PM

It will be McDavid whether he deserves it or not. Personally I would give it to Jamie Benn but to me the cover is something I look at once and never think about again so it's really not a huge deal.

# 14 calegarrison22 @ 05/02/16 04:23 PM

If mcdavid is on the cover I won't buy the game, he needed to be drafted by anybody in the league but Edmonton. Seriously like the kid but the Edmonton Oilers ruin every prospect they have had. If there was promotion and relegation in the NHL the oilers would have been buried in the ahl for years. Good luck to jamie benn of dallas

Wouldn't be surprised to see McDavid. I'd like to see Benn on there - I love McDavid, but he'll get on there eventually anyways.
