[TomasHertlsRooster]

Lmao at Pettersson beating Barzal

 

[Dache]

In the 20s already with that many to choose from, why is Kadri not listed?

 

[LT]

In the 20s already with that many to choose from, why is Kadri not listed?

He’s probably next to be added. Haven’t really cared too much since these additions aren’t likely to get any votes any time soon.

 

[Regal]

Does it really matter? There's more than enough clearly better to complete the list

 

[Machinehead]

Toews who should be higher, but he's a meme.

Then Kuznetsov. Then Barzal.

 

[Machinehead]

Oh I'm dumb, Kuznetsov went already.

 

[Martinez]

Toews
Larkin
Zibanejad
Barzal

 

[ccman68]

Toews is a big liability defensively nowadays so don’t think he should go quite yet.

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

Couture

 

[TomP24684]

I see toews is leading. Must be a bunch of guys close and cups Kane won for toews are leading lmao what a joke

 

[Iceman]

Toews who should be higher, but he's a meme.

Then Kuznetsov. Then Barzal.

No, he shouldn't be higher. Once a upon a time he probably should've been, which he was on these polls when he was actually a very good player.

When TSN etc. hyped him to pieces he actually finished these polls on HFB in the top 5, which seems decent for a two-way 60 point player.

 

[Snippit]

Toews
Larkin
Barzal
Duchene

He had 81 last year and averages 71 per 82, but ok.

 

[amnesiac]

Couture given his playoffs

 

[Machinehead]

I see toews is leading. Must be a bunch of guys close and cups Kane won for toews are leading lmao what a joke

You think it's a joke that Jonathan Toews is the 21st best center in the NHL?

He is the most underrated player in the league, bar none.

 

[ccman68]

He had 81 last year and averages 71 per 82, but ok.

He isn’t a two way player anymore though.

 

[Machinehead]

He isn’t a two way player anymore though.

Ok, then he's a point-per-game player.

 

[Machinehead]

I've always said it: Toews is Derek Jeter.

Overrated defensively, underrated offensively. Romanticized by the media but underrated outside of his own fanbase.

Still a Hall of Famer.
