Panarin is a top 5 LW. Price is definitely not the best anymore, probably hard to rank him even in the top 5. Crosby may have been the best 2 years ago, but it’s McDavid now.

I prefer to listen to NHL players who say that Price is the best goalie in the league

Draisaitl is a natural center, he has no place at wing here, remove him from there, remove Bergeron and put Drai in the top 3 at C.

Panarin is a top 3 LW in the league

Welp... where to start.

Forwards aren’t terrible but probably a few missing names like Panarin.

Defence- Pietranglo is better then Jones Hamilton is likely better then Jones too but it could go either way there. McAvoy is better then Weber. As for the LHD Provorov is better then Suter and might be better then Werenski. Heck I’d almost take Quinn Highes over Suter.

Goalie- price isn’t the best goalie anymore. He’s solid but he isn’t the best in the league and likely not top 5 anymore. Lehner, Rask, Anderson(Freddy) and Bimmington are all better then Price and could easily be 5th on this list. That’s not even mentioning Hart who will be the best goalie in the NHL in less then 5 years.

my bad, I meant to have Panarin in there

Maybe Karlsson and Burns in D?

Meant to have Panarin in there, Draisaitl plays left wing give up your nonsense LOL

And? Who cares? He's a natural C, not a natural winger. Look at the 3 positions he plays... C is the 1st one

I don't agree with Pietrangelo and Hamilton being better than Jones, they're play IMO is inflated due to the incredible D corps around them.

As much as I love McAvoy I don't agree with putting him there, over Weber, players them selves say Weber is the hardest to play against in the league. As for Hughes, Provorov, Werenski and Sutter I think they are all very equal and the argument could be made for either of them to be there

He has played the most of his time this season on McDavid's wing so wether you would like to argue between LW or RW I don't care but it is not C

We could go back and fourth on the Jone vs Pietranglo, but by what your saying with the d cores around them Jones and Werenski skate together most of the time. Pietranglo skates with Dunn or someone else?

Weber is a beast, I think i just go with younger players personally. Same goes with Suter. Think, 7 years ago, Suter, Weber, Jones, Josi, Ellis and Ekholm were all on the same team in Nashville....

Stats don’t matter?

Yeah you mean Binnington who have a .912% or Andersen who is at .909% and who are on much better team are better then Price? And based on what critters or observations you have reach that conclusion?

I’m not arguing with you. Also love how you didn’t even mention Rask or Lehner who I’d put ahead of Price Anderson and Bimmington.

Stats have matter for sure but it ain’t the only thing that have a incidence on it. If you put vasilevski in Detroit net this year he won’t have great stats but that doesn’t mean he is bad either or doesn’t deserve to be the top goalie in nhl.

Rask , lehner, and kuemper are all better G than price. Not taking anything away from what price has accomplished during his career, but RIGHT NOW all 3 of them are better than price.

Robin lehner played on one of the worst defensive teams in the NHL this season and still put up great numbers

He's most successful as a center. He has taken more faceoffs than McDavid even when they played together. LWs don't do that.

They do. The guy plays 60+ games for 3 of the past 4 seasons which is too much and still has a winning record and still has a 905+ save %.

Bergeron isn't a top-5 C anymore.

Let's ignore facts because of what other players say

Price is still a good goaltender , but he’s not top 5 anymore. Markstrom and lehner played on worse defensive teams than Montreal and put up better numbers.

Come on man Lehner had elite stats for ONE year. Apart from that he's been good at best. And Makstrom is legitimately in the top 10 in the league.

Have you seen the defensive structure that MTL has vs the one NYI has? It isn't comparable.

Because i also believe they are superior at Price at the moment. Andersen had only posted .920% once and it was as a second goalie in anaheim and binnington doesn’t play like last year, he have been average for most of the year.

IMO Jones and Werenski are carrying the Columbus team, they don't have much up front, in net, or other then them on the back end. Where as Pietrangelo, has Faulk, Parayko, Dunn, Boumester(Before injury) as does Hamilton With Slavin, Pecese, Van Reisdyke, Fleury.

And it is mind Bogoling how well Nashville develops defenseman... Josi, Ellis, Jones, Weber, Ekholm, Fabbro! crazy
