Hi. I'm a Jackets fan.

Hi. I'm a Jackets fan.

That’s dope.

Hi. I'm a Jackets fan.

Unreal. I'm happy for you

Pretty good top 4, I think mine would be the same.

I'd put Zegras higher despite his last 2 years, just cause he's had 2 consecutive 60+ point seasons. Only Matthew Boldy and Jack Hughes have 2 or more seasons above 60+ points.

I'd also make room for Thomas Harley, Dimitri Voronkov, Pyotr Kochetkov.

Dustin Wolf is on his first season so based on their NHL careers so far probably shouldn't make it.. I suspect he'll be a lock by the time the season ends though.

 

[Viqsi]

That’s dope.

Unreal. I'm happy for you

Heh. Well, I figured it'd be slightly more amusing than the standard "OMG how dare you not include $MY_GUY this list sucks and you suck".

There's a fair debate to be had; I just don't feel like Dmitri Voronkov gets anywhere near enough appreciation for what he does.

 

[Viqsi]

Voronkov too but I don't know who I'd switch out

You could always go with recency bias and swap out Maccelli.

 

[AlexModvechkin8]

Aliaksei Protas should be top ten I think. If not he’s right outside of it.

 

[HabsCode]

Pretty good list. I think I have the same top 4 too.

I'd put Zegras higher despite his last 2 years, just cause he's had 2 consecutive 60+ point seasons. Only Matthew Boldy and Jack Hughes have 2 or more seasons above 60+ points.

I'd also make room for Thomas Harley, probably replace Kaapo Kakko. Voronkov too but I don't know who I'd switch out

Yeah I changed Zegras a couple times, didn’t really know on what to base my evaluation on him whether it’s on the first half of his career so far or his most recent play. I think there is a point to be made he has a spot in the top 5.

 

[HabsCode]

Aliaksei Protas should be top ten I think. If not he’s right outside of it.

Good point. Didn’t really acknowledged this player until recently, but I don’t know who’s place he would take.

 

[Felidae]

You could always go with recency bias and swap out Maccelli.

I was actually considering saying something along those lines.. but I'd probably swap out McMichael first. Having a great season so far, but Maccelli produced at the same rate for 2 full seasons

Johansson on the Red Wings has a chance to be an NHLer, he's improved under the new coach quite a bit. Still too early to tell, but I think he's at least in consideration.

 

[Jumptheshark]

I will just do the top ten

Jack Hughes
Matthew Boldy
Moritz Seider
Cole Caufield
Dylan Cozens
Bowen Byram
Kaapo Kakko
Dmitry Voronkov
Mark Kastelic
Philip Broberg

There are a couple of goalies who are projected to take over the number 1 spot on their respective team in the next 2 seasons--until that happens they wont be in my top ten

Vlasic is very underrated in here.

That's probably expected as a defensive defenseman on a terrible team, though. Those guys really only get credit when their team is winning.

Vlasic is a beast.

Why do you have zegras over Byram?

 

[BlueMed]

Not a chance Kakko or Zegras go over Broberg.

 

[HockeyWooot]

Hughes
Seider
Boldy
Caufield
Harley
Vlasic
Byram
Wolf
Cozens
Protas

HM: McMichael, Voronkov, Broberg, LaCombe

Tricky list to put together, needing to balance out track record vs recent performance.

McMichael and Voronkov very well could be on here though short sample size, while I still have Wolf on here who has tracked well and is having a phenomenal year as a No 1.

 

[Taze em]

Hughes
Seider
Boldy
Caufield
Harley
Vlasic
Byram
Wolf
Cozens
Protas

HM: McMichael, Voronkov, Broberg, LaCombe

good list. Agreed all the way around.

 

[Our Lady Peace]

Why do you have zegras over Byram?

IMO he's played at a higher level than Byram has, who struggled decent amount in Colorado

Zegras himself is now going through it

 

[Coach Reggie Dunlop]

Jack Hughes
Matthew Boldy
Moritz Seider

There is no universe where a 6’4 seider who gives you 200 hits, 200 blocked shots and over half ppg is below boldy.

 

[AlexModvechkin8]

Good point. Didn’t really acknowledged this player until recently, but I don’t know whose place he would take.

Yeah I’m not sure. If he continues his current performance I’d have him over Kakko as well as Macelli.

Alex Vlasic deserves some love too. He’s a beast. And Thomas Harley.
