Bäckström, Kuznetsov and Matthews are quite low

I know Kopitar just came off a bad year, but you don't even have him in your top 20? He's only one season removed from a Selke trophy and a Hart nomination.

I was thinking about swapping Kuzy and Seguin but imo I don’t view Matthews as a Top 10 center. I think Backstrom should be in the 15-20 range but there were too many other centers there already so he got pushed down.

Like the NHL does, I make my lists off of what they did that season. So all these guys showed something that the rest didn’t during the 18-19 season.

Matthews is literally the best even strenght goalscorer on the planet and had almost 40 goals and above 70 pts in almost 70 games with two 3rd liners who are as uncreative as it gets. Even those who are really down on his abilities should have him in top-10 OR higher. I think he is 5th just after Barkov. with Tavares, Stamkos and Bergeron right after him in no particular order.
