Forsberg is too high, I'd put Tkachuk ahead of him. But otherwise great list.

Pettersson is better than everyone from Jack Hughes down and it isn't particularly close aside from Hughes

I've played net my whole life so I pay attention to goalies more than most lol. I personally have Saros and Sorokin as like a 1 and 1a in the league. They are both phenomenal. Saros would no doubt be the best in the league in my mind if he was like 2-3 inches taller

He's also better than Draisaitl who isn't as good as Matthews. Getting easy points from McDavid makes him so so so overrated.

I'd suggest that Carlson and DeBrincat have no business being listed.

IMO, Crosby over Hughes for this season. Long term I would take hughes, but for now Crosby. I would also swap Rantanan and Nylander. I'm also not sure if dobson is a top 10 RD yet, as i would take guys like letang, Doughty, and Ekblad over him currently. Same can go for Byram. Definitely has the potential, but is behind guys like Sergachev, Pelech, Dunn and even Nurse. I'm also not sure Chabot is a top ten LD, but he is definitely up there. Overall though, it's a really good list. Nice work 👍

Yes he's still very good but he isn't very good defensively and he gets the majority of his points with McDavid on the ice. He never scores 50 goals without McDavid, may not even score 40. The difference between McDavid and everyone else is massive. Draisaitl won't score 100 if McDavid isn't an oiler

Matthews will never score 100pts again and will never win a an art Ross if McDavid and draisaitl are playing

Matthews definitely will have 100 point seasons again and I agree he'll never win an art Ross while McDavid is around. Draisaitl doesn't ever enter into it. If McDavid isn't around Draisaitl is never in the art Ross conversation. He would be a good player without question but around 90 points on his own. McDavid does the rest. B

I think draisaitl would 100% score 100 pts if he had nylander or marner on his wing and would score a lot more 5 on 5

Jacky bettah Pettersson inflated offensive stats via 30 assists to Kuzmenko and Horvat shooting like 30%

We aren’t even talking about McDavid like what are u talking about? I’ve never disrespected McDavid always said he was the best but u again fail to understand that. Just because I think draisaitl would score 100 pts with marner or nylander on his wing doesn’t mean I’m disrespecting McDavid turn ur brain bro like come on

Draisaitl is not a top 5 player, he has the stats of one but that is entirely due to McDavid being on his team. Many players would produce as much or more with McDavid because those players are better than Draisaitl. To think that Draisaitl would produced 50 goal 100+ point seasons with McDavid is just silly. If he scored 60+ 5v5 points without every having McDavid on the ice or on his team is nuts.

No reality is only you think Draisaitl is almost as good as McDavid. He isn't he's not remotely as good. His defensive play is below average and the majority of his points come while playing with McDavid. Without him, he's not a 100 point player and likely wouldn't be a top 10 player let alone the 2nd best.

Man draisaitl would 100% put up 100 pts with marner on his line that’s just disrespecting marner lol and it’s funny cause matthews can’t even put up 100 with marner and nylander also matthews is arguably not even the best player on his team after last season
