My picks as of today (not looking forward or back):
Matt T (delivers on a few more levels than his bro right now)
Drai (most dominant forward as far as a combo of physicality and offense goes right now)
Scheifele (so consistent)
Nylander (has gamebreaker ability that Keller doesn't always have)
Arvidsson (his goal totals last year were wild, he isn't slowing down too much either)
Pietro (still a better all round player, but tipping to Parayko soon)
Chabot (McAvoy may be better all round, but the gap on offensive ability is too big to overcome imo)
Hedman (yes, Carlson is on an absolute tear, but I'd still rather have Hedman all around and Hedman is delivering at almost a ppg too)

Overall I'm feeling left, player by player:
Left (Brady's been good for Ottawa, I'll admit, but he's relied a LOT on Mark Stone and hasn't shown an ability to improve his teammates away from one of the league's best players. Matthew's had a more co-dependent relationship with Mikael Backlund, where they both make each other better.)
Left (This is a controversial one, but Drai has legitimately been a huge plus for McDavid. He also doesn't give as much back on D as Matthews does, and generates more for his teammates. Which one a team would rather have is probably dependent on what else they have, but I feel like it's Drai more often than Matthews. Very close call though)
Right (Scheifele and Aho are pretty close too. Scheif's got a better shot, but Aho's got enough of an edge in play driving that IMO he's still better. There's a decent argument that a Scheifele-for-Aho swap would actually help both Carolina and Winnipeg in the short-term.)
Left (This one's pretty easy. There isn't a ton of evidence that Keller helps Stepan as much as Stepan's helped Keller, and there's a fair bit of evidence that Keller's a big part of the defensive issues the Yotes have whenever Hjalmarsson leaves the ice. Nylander's historically helped basically everyone he's played with (unless replacing another very good player, like Kadri), and is one of the game's best transition forwards.)
Left (this one's closer than I thought it would be offensively. Meier's a one-man wrecking crew at 5v5, generating tons of dangerous chances, but Arvidsson's actually an insanely good player on offence too. Thing is, RAPM's have him as worse than Ceci on the other end of the ice, while Meier manages to be a touch above average. That makes it a pretty easy pick.)
Left (Parayko vs Pietrangelo is SUPER close, I'd probably rather have Parayko because age, but overall for right this second it basically just comes down to if you want offense or defence)
Right (This one's pretty tight as well, but Chabot's historically gotten caved in defensively whenever he's been away from Mark Stone, who could probably carry me defensively, and I haven't played organized hockey ever)
Left (Hedman's a lot better defensively, but Carlson just about makes up for it at evens with how insane his offence is. The PP impact might push it over but the Caps powerplay's success does rely a lot on a certain LW's shot, which Carlson doesn't really impact IMO).

Like the picks. Lot of close calls, very comparable players. Cool post!
