Getzlaf. The guy is still a beast and has been amazing for 10+ years now but rarely gets talked about in the top 10 conversation which is laughable. 120 points in 125 playoff games as well.If he was centre I would say no.
In no particular order:
McDavid
MacKinnon
Crosby
Kuznetsov
Matthew's
Tavares
Bergeron
Point
Malkin
Backstrom
Sure I missed someone, but this is before including some young guys that look like they could be better right away. I would have Giroux near Stamkos and Seguin
On the fence with Kopitar, hart finalist to not very good. But LA in general is bad
Most underrated star of this generation without a doubt. And it's not just points with him, he's great at everythingI don’t know what it is about Giroux, but if anyone else scored 132 points in 106 games they’d probably get more respect.
This is too deep for most to follow. Giroux is a hybrid and is a top 10 player, top 5 forward in the league. Top 5 at C or Wing whatever you want to label himHe's actually a LW/C. He still plays center. At 3v3, 4v4, PK, & PP, he's a center.
Even when he's a LW at 5v5, he still plays a lot of center, i.e., in the offensive zone he's usually doing the things a center does, in the defensive zone he almost exclusively plays LW, and in the neutral zone he switches off C & LW situationally. Look at both of Couturier's goals yesterday. Giroux's clearly playing center & Couts is clearly the LW on both of them.
Better than MacKinnon so where does that leave him?He’s not even a center. But even if he was the answer is no
Dude. You're a massive homer. And frankly I don't even want to debate it with you because its obviously going nowhere.Better than MacKinnon so where does that leave him?

Please explain how Giroux isn't better? Giroux outscored him last year and is just about even this year in a much less offensive system and he's worlds better defensively.
It's easy to say he's better.I'm a Flyers fan and even I think that's dubious. There's not much of a gap (Giroux isn't with the league's top scorer) but it's hard to say he's better than MacKinnon.
LMAOOO

I just looked at the stats, didn't realize how far Mackinnon pulled ahead. Thought they were within 3-5.MacKinnon's production is almost 50% higher this year
I can’t belive it’s possible to be so dumb.But neither of you can give a tangible explanation as to why MacKinnon is better because it's not possible
Read next time. I already conceded my mistake. I haven't really been following philly or Colorado lately. As of 2 weeks soo ago Giroux and Mack were within 2-3 points of eachother in the top 3-5. I see MacKinnon took off since.I can’t belive it’s possible to be so dumb.
Well here’s my super in-depth explanation. Go look at NHLstats.com

Nevertheless Giroux was better overall last year and every year before that and has a much better track record. In terms of complete game, Giroux is far ahead. In terms of offensive skill and physical talent it goes to Mack. Thus far this year Mack has been better, granted with much more help. If he continues to be better it'll be the first year in his career that he's been better.
McKinnon is getting a lot of deserved love right now and Giroux is thee most underrated superstar of this generation. Perfect storm for the group-think mentality you have when comparing these players.
Giroux scored well over 100 points last season on a trash team. He's easily top ten.If he was centre I would say no.

Top 5 at both. Top 10 isn't even debatableTrash team, but they weren't really trash offensively. On the pp with a 65 point Dman....with his most frequent linemates at EV being - Couturier (84.6%), Konecny (38.8%), and Voracek (35.6%). The most common of which had people wanting him to win the Selke because of his 76 points and elite defensive play. I'll give you that Konecny didn't stand out, but Voracek was over PPG, and their PP unit was stacked.
The original thread was asking if he was a top-10 centre...the title has been amended to ask if he is a top-10 winger. Which IMO he is; there are less elite wingers than elite centres.
