Top 30 Wingers

I don't think M. Tkachuk deserves to be a tier ahead of Kucherov. They should both be at the the top.

Keller and B. Tkachuk are the first two that I would promote from the third tier. Marchand would be at the bottom of tier 2.

If Kuzmenko shows that last year was not a one off then he get's on the list. He'd be one of the most creative players in tier 3.

Heh. There are a gaggle of players who should move up ahead of Keller. Loads of 'em.

I wouldn’t put Kuch in the same tier as Tkachuk. I think Tkucher is in a tier of his own when it comes to wingers right now and the 6th best skater in the league. He’s a great two-way guy and easily capable of 40+ and 110+ and his impact goes further than than just numbers or defence. He didn’t even need to get on the scoresheet to be the biggest reason why Florida clutched up in games 6&7. No one else is doing that right now. As for Kuch, I think this years Kuch is what we can expect in a full season from here on out. Very elite player, obviously, but 30-110+ with not too much of a two-way impact isn’t enough to put him in tier one imo. And that’s a big reason why he’s placed 6th here. The guys above him just bring that extra juice when it comes to goals and/or two way game. Marner’s about the same level goalscorer, a bit behind as a playmaker but miles ahead in the two-way game. The rest of the guys in front of him are better goalscorers most definitely capable of 100+ point seasons and outside of Pasta, better two way guys as well. Robo is also a better goalscorer capable of 100+ points.

And as for Brady, Keller and Kuz moving up a tier, I would like to hold off until I see more of what they did this past season. Neither Brady or Keller are bonafide 90+ scorers or anything to write home about in the two way game and Kuzmenko while basically dropping 40 and being a decent two-way impact, scored a lot of those goals on tips. I want to see if he can repeat that and prove that it is just part of his game. High tip numbers are historically very hard to replicate year-year

Marchand is in the Stamkos and Panarin tier imo. Genuinely can’t see him above them.

If these are in order, I believe Huberdeau should be higher for sure.
