Considering there are 120 players on this, I'm sure I forgot something, or screwed up the ranking for something. Also rip Habs and Kraken fans.

First thing that immediately stands out is Sorokin. He has been far and away better than Varlamov this year, and going forward he is undisputedly better than Varlamov.

As a Wings fan, based on Larkin's play this year, he's easily a top 20 C in the NHL. I know the center depth in the NHL is crazy, but there are a few names here that Larkin is better than. I also think Seider is a bit low. Bertuzzi should be included as well, but then the question is who do you remove on LW to fit him.

And Hellebuyck is not the 3rd best goalie in the NHL lol, he's been bad this year.

Miro and Teows are top 5 LD IMO. Id move those 2 above Theo and Pelech.

I mostly agree with you (although I think the Seider placement is fair) but Hellebuyck was the best goalie in the league for two years in a row and single handedly beat the Oilers in the first round last year. It's been a down year for sure and Saros has an argument for top 3 but Hellebuyck is still top 3 in my opinion

Not on the list. He's had a good year, but he's not top 20 RHD.

Campbell is way too high, he had a good 1st 1/2 of a season, but what else has he shown? Especially to be considered above Varlamov, Sorokin, Husso, Bobrovsky, Jarry, etc...

He's better than some of the players on this list though. And he's already top-10 in 5v5 scoring despite being effectively a rookie.
