I think Ehlers was our best forward this year if you take everything into account.
He scored extremely well, drove possesion and drew penalties at an elite rate. He was also good in his own end. No other forward did all three well last year. Connor and Scheifele scored extremely well but were poor defensively. Wheeler took a step back offensively but was better in his own end. Laine scored well and improved his defense, but still needs to drive play better.
