<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mhockey91</b></div><div>86 for kessel is low, definitely an 88
I think stamkos and Seguin could be a bit higher as well</div></div>

yeah ure probably right...
had to lower both 81 and 91 by at least a point after seeing these rankings that take a lot into account -more than just points, includes advanced stats strength of competition transition and defensive game and more

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RC333</b></div><div>In my opinion I think Pettersson should be a bit higher. He's got more points then a lot of people at 86 overall. Plus Pettersson has a massively underrated defensive game, the guys a hound. I can see the precaution however, I'd wish he was at 86-87 but in the future I can see him being 90-92 because of his elite offensive and defensive game. He's got massive shades of datsyuk and people should be excited for him.</div></div>

Totally agree, i actually had him and boeser both at 86 and so many people were complaining saying its on 20 games or whatever but ya you can definitely tell the skill is there the kid is a stud id bet on him being a top 10 center by end of next season....only reason i did end up knocking em both down to 85 is because if you look most of the guys at 86 and above are #1 Centers....i think hes insane dont get me wrong, but there is something to be said for going uo against weaker competition-look at barzal, he gets the reins as # 1 C after JT left and his production has taken a hit (though not by much) going up against the tougher lines on opposing teams....if petterson can produce at same rate on 1st line at some point this season then he could easily rise to 87/88 imo

Thread: My Top 31 Forwards in the NHL w Custom NHL19 Ratings
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MelonVK</b></div><div>Marchand is 3 points ahead of Giroux in 14 fewer games since 16/17. Out of those points he's scored 22 more goals, if you like me value goals over assists. He's clearly the better defensive player as well.

So regarding Matthews I think a lot of the issue is him getting credit for a defensive ability he doesn't really have. He looks like a great two-way forward, but in his own zone his ability is far surpassed by Bergy and Barkov.
This data also includes Bergeron's ridiculous 6% shooting season outlier, but also consider that some of Bergeron's relative numbers get bumped down because of Marchands and Pastrnaks respective abilities

<img class="for_img" src="https://i.imgur.com/2RyecVX.png" alt="2RyecVX.png"></div></div>

as a sabres fan, as much as i hate to admit it, Matthews is top 5 forward in the league imo.

Giroux&gt;Marchand if only for the fact that giroux can play center as well and doesnt have the luxury of playing with bergeron and pasta on arguably the best line in hockey.

Thread: Buffalo giveth Buffalo taketh
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MelonVK</b></div><div>Unpopular opinion: Eichel is in his prime, he'll be exiting it in 5 years.

I think this is down to team building ideology though, I personally still think teams are too invested in their own prospects and young players. I'd give up a high scoring Jake DeBrusk if it meant getting Tarasenko. I just think Buffalo can win as early as this year, and in my mind at least you're doing yourself a disservice by shortening your window!</div></div>

only reason i could see agreeing with this is because of Huttons age. though hes played far less career minutes over his career than goalies of similar age hes bound to decline in the next few years. ofher than that im not trading a dynamic future #2center for a pretty one dimensional winger that will be past his prime in 3 years. Yeah Tarasenko is a great player but I beleive Botterill has a vision of this team having sustainable success for many years. just because the team has surprised everyone with such a quick turnaround from last year i dont see him abandoning his vision of the future for a chance at a playoff run while our D still needs a couple peices( or wait for Dahlin, Pilut, Borgen Samuelsson to develop further) and also while there are a few powerhouses like tampa, nashville, toronto that we have very little chance at beating in a 7 game series tarasenko or no tarasenko. to add to that, i dont see boston giving up a 3rd rounder for pominville which would give us like 25 mil tied up in RW’s. Just dont see it happening, Tarasenko is a shooter who wants the puck, while Eichel does have a lot of shots so
far this season, theres a general consensus he still should be shooting a bit more. Its going to require patience but Buffalos time will come as one of the powerhouses of the league even if the roster remains close to the same it is now just need for the “Dahlin Effect” to go into full effect of ya know what I mean.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mhockey91</b></div><div>I mean I’ll catch heat on this but I believe Murray is CERTAINLY Better than an 82. Once he comes back from injury and regains his form people will certainly have a different opinion on him.
Carey price is also severely underrated. Dude is still a beast despite his numbers
As for over rated, I don’t think Stone is better than rantenen, marner, kessel, laine, wheeler, etc... I think that’s a really Hard argument to make.</div></div>

i agree on Murray but hes yet to put together a full solid season as the #1 guy ..i have drafted him as my goalie for fantasy in back to back years now and has been a big disappointment-the talent is there for him to be in the 86-88 range but he has to regain his stanley cup form- hopefully he can do that after he heals from injury because his numbers have been pretty bad.....Price- many say overrated many say underrated it kinda depends on how you rate - overall career or recent performance- if you do overall he could be 89 if you do recent it could be as low as 82-83 bc his numbers have not been good at all so i did in between at 86 which i think is fair....Stone- i knew this would prolly be the most controversial ranking but he is a top 5 defensive forward in the league perhaps even the best defensive winger while also putting up a higher ppg over last season and a half than pastrnak , kane, marner, laine etc...

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TMLSage</b></div><div>I will try to do one better: 1 over-rated and 1 under-rated for each position
Over-rated:
C: Bergeron (Guy won a few selkes, and is great. But just way to highly ranked for him)
LW: Marchessault (Had a hot season last year, flash in pan candidate)
RW: Tarasenko (This guy gets hyped like a top sniper, and he is, but there are multiple wingers I'd take before him)
D: Klingberg (his offensive game is elite, but other faucets of his game are meh at best)
G: Gibson (Is a great goalie, but #1 is a tad high)

Under-rated:
C: Dubois (20yr number 1 centre for a Metro powerhouse)
LW: Fiala (guy is gold for Nashville)
RW: Tuch (guy is gold for Vegas)
D: Vlasic (easily one of, if not, the best defensive D-man in the NHL)
G: Price (this is more of a legacy thing)</div></div>

Awesome thanks so much for your input i agree most with the tarasenko, price and vlasic comments....who do you think the #1 goalie is?
