Oof. Vasielevsky at #5! I know he is arguably one of the best goalies, but has not business in Top 10. Barkov rating is criminal. He should probably be just after Ovi. EK is also generous. Draisaitl should be 45-50. Marner should be top 10.

Yes. I think he could be a bit higher though. Is Patrick Kane really 10 spots better than Marner?

lmao yes without a doubt. Patrick Kane can make a case for being a top 5 player in the league, Marner isn't even in conversations for that

Stone should be much higher. Unfortunately people would probably view his much more favourably if he was a C. And I don't think that Kane is much better than Marner. If you look at total impact on a game, I am not sure what Kane does that much better than Marner. Marner is certainly better defensively.

Kane was top 5 last year, arguably top 3. Just don't see him dropping down to #11 this year.

ESPN's NHL coverage is horrible and has never been good. Case and point, go to their homepage and the NHL isn't even on their banner menu, you have to hover over "..." to get a drop down menu that includes racing, boxing, WWE, Special Olympics, tennis...thanks ESPN for loving hockey so much!

1) Putting Eichel that high, and conveniently above the Leafs contingent has to be a jab at a leafs fan. That can't be real.
2) You erased the number 1 in front of McDavid and for a minute I didn't think you had him at #1. Almost lost it....
