[Peasy]

NOOOOOOOO how could they rank Matthews 3

Its not fair.

Goddamn Toronto Sports Network at it again!

 

[ricky0034]

at least Kucherov's in the top 20 this year

 

[Breakers]

I actually like TSN’s Top 50 players

They have a bunch personalties submit their lists from all the former players who appear on the radio to the general guys.
20 is a better sample than NHL.com who has like 6


Look at Panarin and Quinn Hughes rankings from last year compared last year

This but unironically

Panarin shouldnt be anywhere near Quinn Hughes on a best-of list, though

 

[SensontheRush]

Feel like Mikko should be #7?

I mean they do literally have a 37.5% ownership stake in the Leafs

 

[Peasy]

A little late on that one mate.

 

[ricky0034]

A little late on that one mate.

nah they still do till next year when it actually closes

 

[Peasy]

nah they still do till next year when it actually closes

And what are you going to say next year when they still put him top 5 or even top 3 ?

 

[Vinh]

Fox at #19 is terrible.

 

[Rob Brown]

I mean they do literally have a 37.5% ownership stake in the Leafs

Yes you're right, he'd barely crack the top 25 if Bell didn't own part of the Leafs. It's all a sham.

 

[ricky0034]

And what are you going to say next year when they still put him top 5 or even top 3 ?

then it'll just be a desire for attention instead of a desire for attention combined with also literally owning the team

 

[raymond23]

No Larkin is crazy

Keep sleeping

 

[Peasy]

then it'll just be a desire for attention instead of a desire for attention combined with also literally owning the team

Sale is expected to close mid 2025... But yeah okay sure they'll still own the team

And just like I figured, youll just move the goal posts for another reason

Thanks for confirming.

I said they wouldn't still own the team not that they would?

and it doesn't even really matter how Matthews performs as far as lists like these go, he was 5th on last years list even though he was literally coming off a year where he was 22nd in the league in scoring

Maybe because these lists aren't strictly considering the previous season.

Dislike the guy all you want but he's at worst like the 6th worst skater in the league, so someone else putting him higher on the list in the 2-6 range shouldn't bother you this much.

 

[Koivu11]

Players from last year’s list who didn’t make it and their previous ranking:

Tage Thompson (18)
Erik Karlsson (21)
Ilya Sorokin (26)
Alex Ovechkin (33)
Mika Zibanejad (36)
Nico Hischier (37)
Roope Hintz (39)
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (42)
Dougie Hamilton (45)
Juuse Saros (47)
Alex Pietrangelo (49)
Jaccob Slavin (50)

he's been in the top 5 in points one time in his entire career

it was the shortened COVID season and he was tied for 5th

Oh it's a points prediction list? Got it.

 

[izlez]

Yeah. I wasn't exactly sure if he'd fit into the top 50, but man, there are a LOT of people on here that I would take Larkin over for 1 year.

Demko not being in top 50 is wild. I would take Demko over Wyatt freaking Johnston when it comes to building a team.
