[Sidney the Kidney]

Probably still Sid, although one of the young guns could take that spot this season.

 

[LT]

I went with Crosby but it's close between him and MacKinnon.

 

[pb1300]

Crosby
Mack
Barkov

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

*Add Kuznetsov

 

[crackdown44]

I wouldn’t have Drai on this list if you’re going primarily off last year

 

[Snippit]

Yeah no Draisaitl please

 

[Ace of Hades]

Add Elias Petterson.

 

[snipes]

Crosby then MacKinnon

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

Ha! Crosby has 87% of the votes.

 

[Nico the Draft Riser]

I wouldn’t have Drai on this list if you’re going primarily off last year

Yeah no Draisaitl please

Why not?

 

[AB13]

Add Mika Zibanejad

 

[Snippit]

Why not?

Cause he plays wing more, and has gotten the majority of his production as a W?

 

[Tad Mikowsky]

I voted Mackinnon based off his last couple years but can see why Crosby would be voted here. And it has nothing to do with Grace periods either.

Can’t go wrong with either.

 

[crackdown44]

Why not?

Well he’s better than a lot of these guys but because of his chemistry with McDavid and Edmonton’s lack of depth on the wing he played RW the vast majority of last year and coincidentally that’s where most of his production came from

Just think it would be disingenuous to rank him above a lot of these guys as a center even though he’s a better player

 

[LT]

Probably safe to move on again, I’ll have #3 up sometime tonight. #3 should go quickly too.

I’ll think on removing Draisaitl, as I can see both sides of that argument. If anyone makes a strong, compelling argument, I might be swayed.

Why would you take him off?

 

[LT]

Why would you take him off?

If people only rated his play as a center only, I’d leave him on. However, I suspect people will rate him as a player and that will skew his ranking, as his production has largely come from playing as a winger with McDavid.

May as well take McDavid off too since they share Center responsibilities.

 

[Tage2Tuch]

Yeah no Draisaitl please

Sadly he’s going to get a ton of votes.

I voted Eichel just to make the people love it.

WHere is he actually for me?

Probably 5th-7th.

Mcdavid
Crosby



bark
Berg

Any of Mackkinon Matthews Eichel



I wouldn’t have draisaitl as a top twenty center.

Top thirty though.
