I got a lot of personal bias here, but Colton Sissons totally deserves to be on a list like this. He’s been the Preds most trusted defensive C for years and a face off ace. I don’t remember exactly what Laviolette said during the Stanley cup run in 2017, but it was to this effect: “I got a guy I can always trust to take those defensive zone draws in late game situations. It’s Colton Sissons.” He’s always just been a solid presence. There’s a reason all Lavi, Hynes, and Bruno have loved him.

But this is a great list, but I think there’s something to be said for adding PP specialists to this list. The ability to consistently help your team cash out on the PP can’t be understated

Jordan Staal deserves to be here... he's a great defensive forward and PKer but that's about it

Artturi Lehkonen, though he’s (rightfully) perceived more like an actual impact player recently.

I think DeMelo is pretty overrated.

Namestnikov has been a great role player for the Jets, Nino too!

Having top 5/10 goalies on this list doesn't make sense but maybe I'm missing something... 🤔 (wouldn't be the first time that happened 🤪)

O'Reilly
Compher
Coyle
Carlo
Jenner
Foligno
Gourde

just to name a few def misses...........
