I'd argue schenn>duchene

Scheifele > O'Reilly
Schenn > Duchene

O'reilly is so much better defensively that it keeps him over scheifele for the time being

I would argue johansen or someone else over strome

O'Reilly had the same points as toews and they're pretty equal defensively. O'Reilly became the most overrated player since that cup win

Central really on have 4-5 elite C I see

Bad take. The defensive part of Toews' game has completely disappeared in the last couple of years. He's the one who is being overrated since his cup wins. Toews was in the 4th percentile for forwards in xGA/60, 14th percentile in shots against, and he has been getting way more offensive starts than defensive over the past 2 years. Some of it is probably on Colliiton, but the on-ice results are bad no matter how you spin it.

I’d argue Robert Thomas has been better than Schenn this year, but he’s only playing 14.5 minutes a night so it’s tough to argue he belongs here. Next year though...
