Sharpie doesn't deserve to be on here.

 

[Kamiccolo]

Why is Seguin so high? He is a one dimensional guy with known character issues. If other players like Ovi and Kessel don't catch a break for going full offense with no two way play, then neither should Seguin.

 

[Morten]

Rick Nash should be atleast a top 10 imo, no idea what Kessel is doing ranked higher than Nash aswell?

 

[Timo Time]

Nash too low.
Weber and Forsberg deserve a slot.
Evander shouldn't be on list.
Don't know if I'd put Hudler in there either.

Seguin is not one-dimensional.

 

[HanSolo]

Toews isn't better than Getzlaf imo.

 

[ToewsForDays]

Filip Forsberg should be there

 

[authentic]

Kessel is too high. Coming from a Leafs fan.

 

[2ka RasK*]

Bergeron at 31 is way too low

 

[ToewsForDays]

IMO, Nash and Tarasenko are too low

 

[Nicko999]

Pacioretty should be closer to 20th than 30.
Jeff Carter is too high
The Sedins are way too high
And yes, if it's based on performance this season, Forsberg should definitely be there.

 

[FLpanthers16]

A guy like Nick Bjugstad deserves to be on there aswell.

 

[SolidusAKA]

lol wut

Watch a Dallas game maybe?

 

[Stuzchuk]

if its for this year (only this year)... there's a lot of wrong with this list

Weber and Forsberg deserve a slot.

Shea Weber isnt there, due to the fact that hes a DMan

 

[MrClutch86]

If we are talking about this year in any manner, Tyler Johnson should not be #49.

 

[john skull]

Well, thats really just not a real discription of Seguin's game. Sorry, you just clearly dont watch him. He backchecks and plays both sides of the puck.

 

[fmrdh]

IMO

Little > Ladd >> Kane

 

[izzy]

Tarasenko and Schwartz are too even to be that far apart. Ok List.

 

[Plastic Joseph]

Might be a bit of a Homer but I think Pacioretty deserves to be higher.

 

[BB6]

Getzlaf isn't near high enough, I'm pretty surprised at how low he is.

 

[Addison Rae]

Pacioretty should be closer to 20th than 30.
Jeff Carter is too high
The Sedins are way too high
And yes, if it's based on performance this season, Forsberg should definitely be there.

Way too high is an overstatement, they are a bit too high though.

 

[AmericanDream]

solid list, but Tarasenko and Johnson certainly need to be higher.

Sharp needs to go bye-bye as he doesn't belong there this year..put Saad there instead if you want a Hawk player.

I would drop the Sedin's as well, and bump up Pacioretty sum.

Forsberg belongs on this list....somewhere...

Taylor Hall is too high for right now...

I would swap Stepan and Ryan...

and Kane should be #1

 

[Leviathan899]

lol wut

Watch a Dallas game maybe?

I know that guy is one of the bigger Kessel homers out there. Seguin back checks harder than most on this list and is willing to get dirty to make a play, and is just that much more talented than Kessel. Kessel doesn't have a slapshot, nor a one timer in his repertoire.

Agree with these. Not too sure with Hall as I don't watch him that much, same for Stepan and Ryan
