You're gonna have a hard time with Leafs fans when they see Gallagher over Marner

Deangelo over Pesce??

Draisaitl is waaaaaaaayy too low
hes at least 4th or 5th

Yeah I was expecting that, but I really dont see an argument for Marner aside from points. Gallagher leads him in almost every relevent advanced stat

Say what you want about DeAngelo off the ice, but hes an amazing offensive defenseman

I can see that argument, he was probably top 5 in the 2nd half of the season, but I want to see him do it over a full season to put him there

I like this list for the most part. Not sure if Benn should be that high at this point and I'd have Miro up a few ranks. I'd probably have 3 or 4 guys ahead of Rielly at LHD but I tend to like the more well-rounded guys. And I think I have Matthews and EP flipped and I'd push Geno above Eichel but the rest of the centers look like a fair opinion. Nice job.

Hes done it 2 seasons in a row what do you mean

He's not a defenceman. He's great offensively, fine. But a defenseman's job isn't to score. Pesce is one of the best DFD in hockey.

Sorry i didnt phrase that correctly, i want him to not be a complete defensive liability for an entire season

This is what I meant^

Pesce was awful defensively this year. Hes been elite defensively in the past, but his defense was non-existent this year

ahhhh
ok

I probably wouldve had Benn near the bottom of the list before the playoffs, but I think he showed that he can still bring it during the run. Rielly had an injury riddled season. If you just want to base it off of this year, hes probably not top 10. But when healthy I think Rielly can be that good

I can definitely see Geno over Eichel, but I would get absolutely slaughtered for that take lol

Pettersson being in fourth is uh.... surprising.

Where would you rank him?

Guentzel is too high and ovi too low. I don’t even like Ovi

I have a hard time believing Couturier is better than Eichel. Also Crosby wasn’t really that good last year.

Where is goalies? Are they being removed this season?

Stone over Kucherov .85 ppg over 1.1 ppg? And Kucherov is a lot better than most give him credit for.
Over a point per game in over 500 games

Guentzel when healthy was a top 10 winger. Ovechkin has given up everything to chase the goals record and it shows, he still leads in goals, but is bad at basically everything aside from shooting

Eichel was a bit better offensively, but Coots destroyed him on defense.
Crosby was a beast in 18-19 and had an injury riddled year. I wouldn't bet against him

Not 4th. Maybe like 10th or something.

He didn't play a ton of C last season.

Fair.
I was just looking at Dahlins RAPM chart, and Evolving hockey player card he was so much better in his rookie year. Do you think it’s fair to say he was a top 15 LD before Krueger basically ruined him?
