Well, playoff scoring goes differently series to series, so I don't look at that as much for overall worth to a team - unless your top scorers really disappear during said playoffs.
I voted Kopitar, but it's a solid question . . . between him and Brown and Mike Richards and Drew Doughty . . . it's actually a very tough pick.
Brown is also solid defensively, is the captain, and brings a fearsome scoring and hitting presence.
Richards is an awesome penalty killer, has high end skill on par with Kopitar when he needs to, is awesome defensively, and brings a very gritty physical presence as well.
Doughty brings all the same things basically - grit, toughness, size, and defence, but most importantly, he anchors the d-men and provides great offence to boot.
But I still chose Kopitar - barely, just over Mike Richards and Brown - on the fact that he is the targetted 1st line guy, and he still manages to be the top defensive forward, even over Richards I'd say. He is just so steady in terms of production, and when matched against another top line, he is very rarely a minus against them.
