1/3 season mark; rank your team's top 10 performers so far (including goalies)

M-M-M-Matvei and the Jett
Fairly big drop off after the Top 3.
- Konecny
- Michkov
- Sanheim
- Andrae
- Ersson
- Couturier
- Frost
- Ristolainen
- Tippett
- York
I was going to get as far as TK/MM/Sanheim and drop seven dunnos after that, so I can go with this (though I do think you have Tippett too high. He spends too much time as the worst player on the ice, it counterbalances the time he spends as the best.)

Caps
01. Ovechkin
02. Strome/Protas - Strome for the numbers, obviously, but Protas is 1b when it comes to the team's 5v5 play.
03. Sandin (D)
04. Protas/Strome
05. Chychrun (D)
06. Logan Thompson (G)
07. Dubois - Not the same raw numbers as his linemates, but honestly the engine. Does so many things before the puck gets to whoever gets the secondary assist.
08. McMichael
09. Wilson
10. Carlson (D) - Ole Reliable
Not counting the bookends, almost everyone on this list could be higher on any given day, honestly. Nearly everyone's playing well.

I honestly would put Gustavsson over Kaprizov so far this season. Don't get me wrong, Kap has been playing great too & scoring is important, yes. But good goaltending gives you the chance to win almost every game and thats what Gus provides at the moment.
Faber is too low on that list imo. He's eating up big minutes every night and just a very intelligent and smooth defenseman and therefore very, very important for the Wilds success.
1. Gustavsson
2. Kaprizov
3. Faber
4. Boldy
5. Rossi
6. Middleton
7. Spurgeon
8. Brodin
9. Gaudreau
10. Fleury
Draisaitl - Never seen him play this well. An absolute horse all over the ice. Should get Hart and Selke consideration.
McDavid - Slow start but looks back to himself now, should challenge for scoring race.
Nurse - yes, seriously. 3-9-12 +16 last 17 games, Reaves knocked hockey ability back into his skull. He looks fantastic
Ekholm - Solid, steady D man. Always reliable
Kulak - Looks like a #3 a lot of nights. Skating is beautiful.
Janmark - Can't ask for much more production out of a 3/4L guy
Hyman - Glacially slow start, bad luck but now back to his scoring ways.
Bouchard - Frustrating moments, good moments, an up and down year for #2 but still a positive contributor no doubt
Podkolzin - What an under the radar pickup he has been. Awesome linemate for Leon, and a guy that plays in all situations.
Perry - good 4L production even if the skating lacks.

Pretty much agreed, but Hyman deserves to be on the list, he was insanely unlucky to start the year with the chances he had, worm is finally turning now
