Quinn Hughes leads the league in points while being dead last in goals against/60. You can't be a top-5 defenseman if you can't actually defend, you know.

I don’t care what Matthew’s is doing right now he isn’t better than MacKinnon. Now if you’re ranking them by production this year ok, but then where is Grubauer.

Welcome to Hell, as for your rankings since you aren't including Kucherov, move Marner down 3 spots on RW (Pasta, Stone, and Kane are all better).
For center Drai and Mackinnon are both better than Matthews, I would say Crosby is still too but Father time is starting to show a little there.
For LW Connor is not top 5, Gaudreau, Huberdeau, and Stamkos are all better.
For LD Rielly and Theodore are not top 5 Slavin and Piet are both better.
For RD Petry is definitely not top 5 over Heiskanen
For Goalie Price > Fleury

Very small sample size to call him top-5 goalie in the league.

I think theres a legit convo to be had about who the best C is between McDavid, MacKinnon, and Matthews. Imo they are a lot closer than most people think. But its tough to compare them (especially offensively) this season because of how weak the north division defense is

If they had out the Vezina right now (totally hyperbolic) but he has straight beast moded it this year. I’d just clarify in the description what you meant, Grubauer top 5 easily this year for his career no.

There is a reason TSN ranked MacKinnon #1, he takes it to another level in the playoffs, and in clutch situations. I’d 100% agree Matthew’s is the best goal scorer, McDavid the most dangerous offensive player, but MacKinnon just goes affects the game in all 3 zones at a crazy level, look at the goal against Vegas back check, poke check, transition, handles and shot.
Playoff scoring ppg
MacKinnon 1.35 (40 games)
McDavid 1.06 (17 games)
Matthew’s 0.76 (25 games)
