NHL Forwards Rankings #19

[M2Beezy]

So Stone from the Las Vegas Golden Knights takes 18th spot after continuing his impressive 200 foot game of being very good in the o zone to being one of the best in the defensive side of things. Shows no sign of slowing down either. Anyways 19 is next Couturier and Bergeron were the runners up so expect one of those guys to go now, both great players

Bergeron or Marner here, Couts isn’t too far behind them.

 

[WetcoastOrca]

My next three:
Bergeron
Couturier
O’Reilly
Then can’t decide between :
Rantanen, Barzal, Zibanejad and Schiefle

 

[jetsforever]

I'm fine with joining the consensus with Bergeron but I'm starting to think PPG-for-4-straight-seasons Mark Scheifele is getting underrated.

Yeah hes a well rounded player too. I think Couturier Bergeron Schiefele and Barzal should be the next four on deck

Marner is better than everyone of those players except maybe Bergeron

Except maybe Bergeron?
I’ll have whatever you’re drinking!

I’d have Marner after those 7 in a group with Huberdeau, Gaudreau and a couple of others guys who put up lots of points. And that’s good company to be in imo.
Hockey is about more than just points. Couturier and O’Reilly bring an elite two way Selke game, Scheifle is also solid defensively and plays physical and Barzal and Zibanejad both play the more important center position and are the top centers on their teams. I suppose you could make a case for Rantanen but that’s more personal preference.

All of the votes so far for Marner are from Leaf fans which should tell you something. He’s a great player but shouldn’t be under consideration ahead of those players imo.

Pretty much this. Marner is one of my fave players but hes clearly not above the listed guys here. Cant just go with fave, were trying to rank forwards OVERALL

Voted Bergeron.

Absolutely absurd that he is behind Pettersson or Aho in my opinion.

What makes Pettersson and Aho ahead of Mark Scheifele or Sean Couturier for example? Scheifele is the better producer than both, and Couturier is significantly better defensively while only having slightly worse numbers.

Scheifele this year produced a little better but it was largely inflated with 7 empty net points. If you take that away EP produced better and Scheifele's defence ranges from mediocre to terrible. Couturier is much closer and could go either way but I take EP's ability to drive and create plays considering his defence isn't that terrible either his fairly sub par playoffs didn't really help either.

Ya I feel Petterson has become pretty overrated, he went too high on this list.

 

[Buck Naked]

I'd take O'Reilly or Bergeron here. Both are better than Coots.

 

[canuckking1]

Bergeron or ROR. O'Reilly has been one of the most dominant playoff beasts over the past 2 postseasons. He was a terror against the Canucks and destroyed the Bruins top line 5on5.

 

[elitepete]

The only people that think EP is overrated are the people that just look at his stats on hockeydb.

Important to note that he gets those points in a lot less toi/game than a lot of other stars.
