Heiskanen is easily a top 5 LHD. If you count him as a RD he should still be here. I take Ekblad over Hamilton.

I don't think Campbell himself is that good, he's just on a great (regular season) team. He was ordinary in the Playoffs. Demko should absolutely be here no homer.

Matthews should be 4th at the highest. Barkov and Draisaitl missing seems wrong but it's tough to bounce someone out. Point is unbeaten in the Playoffs the last two years.

Do u see Campbells stats this season lmao, and his stats in last years playoffs were incredible as well. Matthews is the second best player in the world, period. Selke favorite this season, while being the best goal scorer.

I value Playoffs more than anything, and Matthews hasn't cracked the top 3 there yet. He's the next best goal scorer in the league and that get's him top-5.

I don't care about goalie stats at all, not even a little bit. All I evaluate on is how much I trust him to make a big save during a game. Campbell hasn't done it enough for me and get's beat clean by average shooters too often. Similar to Grubauer, look at him away from the Avs powerhouse.

So u don’t use numbers to judge a player? Beat by clean shooters? Have u watched any leafs game this year or last playoffs. If u use playoffs to judge a player, McDavid isn’t a top 5 player then right ?

40% of his points came on the PP last year. He’s on pace for the same amount this year. He had trouble scoring 5 on 5 but ppl don’t talk about it

Ovi gotta be number 1. 3rd on the league in points with a worse supporting cast than Marchand. I'd bump Huberdeau to 3 with the season he's having.

Demko gotta be on there.

Finally. Let's just put this to bed ok. You don't win the selke if you don't kill penalties.
Year. Player. Total. Average.
20/21 Barkov 71mins. (1:25) won selke
19/20 Couts 149mins (2:02) won selke
18/19 O'Reilly 163mins (1:59) won selke
17/18 Kopitar 178mins (2:10) won selke.

21/22 Matthews 4:57mins (0:09) not winning a Selke.

Centres

1 McDavid

2 MacKinnon

3 Matthews

4 Sid

5 Barkov

Marner isn’t top 5. Makar is the best RHD in the league. The goalies are a mess

"Had trouble scoring at 5 on 5" bruh you take away all of his power play production and he would still have had north of 50 points in 56 games, and was 8th in the league in even strength points/60. Just say you don't like him and move on, Don't make stuff up. Also being a player who can murder you on the powerplay is a GOOD thing lmao. 🤡

Matthews won't even be in the top 10 for Selke. Not that he doesn't deserve to be, it's just now how that trophy is decided. It's a reputation award and Matthews isn't considered defensive enough. Bergeron will be in the running again despite seeing 60% offensive zone starts. Barkov will be a finalist despite Matthews have way better defensive metrics.

You're really annoyed by 4%? tears of joy It will end up being close enough at the end of the season. Also, Matthews doesn't play on the PK. Stone will likely get it since he's "due".

Who cares about the PK. Thats the dumbest argument. Being good defensively happens at 5v5 and he's a beast there. But like I said reputation is everything nothing else matters.

The Leafs PK is very good this year. They don't give up goals and chances at a high rate. So what are we talking about here?

Without Matthews. Would it be as successful with him on it? That's what we need to know.

Stone is the 3rd best RW and easily over Kane and Marner.

Draisaitl should be on here. Basically what @Claesson4Norris said.

Slavin and Heiskanen > Rielly and Theodore

Ekblad or Weegar (if you count him as a RD) > Pietrangelo

Saros should be on here

What is successful is having him come over the boards with JT right after the PK and pummel the opposition.

So it's a problem if another center has slightly more offensive zone faceoffs (and is a great on the PK) but when it's easier for Matthews offensively/to produce against 3rd/4th liners/3rd pair Ds, that's fine tears of joy
