I think because Nighbor spent a large chunk of his career not in the National league it hrt his ranking. Stil there were some head scratching rankings - like H.Richard in the 20's.

How many times do I have to say it? Briere is a scrub in ATD terms at RW, especially on a first line. Everything historically relevant that he has accomplished has come at center. His top 10 in points, goals, and assists all came as a center. Look at Briere's last 7 years. His 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th best point totals came at center. When he played RW, 6th and 7th (08-09 and 09-10 regular seasons). Granted, he was injured in 08-09, but my point stands. His four best playoff seasons all came at center, and this year, which is likely to be a very good one, is at center. Briere is significantly, significantly less effective at RW compared to center. Danny Briere has achieved nothing in an ATD context at RW.
Rolls eyes....
He has proven himself to be a good enough player that we can give him some credit and assume he could adjust to being a RW at the ATD level and keep up. Ignoring the first obvious clue that he has played there for the past few seasons.
Show me one team that is flawless on every line or defence pair. Briere is simply a weak link or a question mark for me, but not a scrub.
Detroit defeats Vancouver in 5 games.
