Some weird choices in here, but every list is wrong in the end.
I make, and save, every team's next 3 years. Then rated, with surprising results! Although every month, if I check, it magically changes lol. Some of these teams may have good items, yet the whole team mechanism is whacked like EDM TOR WPG PIT OTT MIN BUF MTL. Some teams really fall off in the next few years

Zero players from the Kings, the highest scoring and best defensive team in the NHL so far this season. At the very top of most power rankings.

Stupid list.

That could be true as well... But most of Hyman's chances are alone in front of the net... Would make him pretty valuable there

Overall as a team they’re rated quite highly. But individually I wouldn’t say they have 1 guy carrying them or any ridiculous superstars

It's clear this list values point production and not much else.

Anze Kopitar is the best two-way forward in the league, and this list has him below Fiala and Kempe.

I don't think that is right...how would it explain Phillip Danault at $5.7m then? (and Byfield at $5.2m)

Or Jordan Staal ($4.0m, 8 pts) over Necas ($3.9, 17 pts)
Backlund ($5.2m, 12 pts) over Mangiapane ($5.1m, 15 pts)
Erickson Ek ($8.6m, 18 pts) over Zucc ($7.5m, 26 pts)

...and so on. There are countless examples.

Because it's not only based on this season's production.

If you look through various teams...I dont think you will see a discount to two-way players.
