My Top 30 Forwards for 2023-24

Description
The way I did this was by going to the person in place 1 and asking if i would rather have them or the person below them all the way through 30. So there may be a few players off by a few positions but if it is only 1-3 positions, remember at that point it is just opinion. But please let me know what you think or who I missed! Thanks!

This is a good list overall I would change some things but for the most part it’s pretty good

I like it but I think AM34 is way too low tbh. (I know I'm biased as a Leafs fan but I don't think it's that crazy to say)

I agree that matthews tends to get a lot of slack, especially just because he had one down year, but i just feel I would take any of the player above him in like a fantasy draft if i could. But absolutely matthews will be a definite top 10 and for many years a top 5

Good list! Obviously I could sit here and nitpick some placements (because I'm a biased Leafs fan), but I think you're bang on

I mean nitpick away, Id love to hear what people think and their reasoning, because I obviously have my biases and would like to hear another perspective

I think it speaks volumes that Matthews can get 40 goals and 85 points in 74 games and it is a down year though, after being the first player in a decade to record 60 points almost anything will be a down year right now

Also I just want to point out that i made a mistake on my list, he is 9th (to me) not 10th. However the most I would move him up would be 7th, i just don't think he is better than kucherov

What does Kucherov do where you go: "I'd rather have this guy on my team than Matthews" (not talking about contract but rather about the player)

So i did do some thinking and I took into account everything everyone had said and I put Matthews at 5th, i always keep forgetting that pasta doesnt have burgey anymore. Yes you guys are right, thank you for enlightening me. I did not give him enough credit

No worries at all and it is okay to have your own opinion, I was just giving my own! Don't worry!
