i feel lafreniere and power have not done anything to be that high, maybe one day but not now. i think fleury is a bit high in my opinion, i believe he is a bit overated here but i could understand your argument for sure (even though he has more cup as a back up than as a player!) great list!

I did not want to rank LAffy and Power that high, it's mostly that the ones below them doesn't deserve to be higher tears of joy

Hall is arguably the best player drafted his year while Tavares is not.

And just who exactly is better than Tavares from his draft year? Hedman? O'Reilly?

That's seems a stretch to say in the least. Hedman may have a couple Cups and O'Reilly one, but that is offset by Tavares' sheer domination as the best player from his draft by total points, PPG, accolades and the like.

Tavares would still likely go 1st OVA in a redraft today. Hedman, 2nd. O'Reilly, 3rd.

Meanwhile one could argue that Tyler Seguin is better than Hall overall from the 2010 draft. Saying Hall is the best player from his draft is debatable.

Seguin probably goes first overall over Hall during a redraft right now.

Tavares is clearly the better player over Hall for their total careers. Again, Tavares has Hall beat in Goals, Assists, Points, and PPG. That should count for something. Especially given the fact it's by a rather large degree.
