I pretty much agree with this list - I actually think Lupul the better player since he is more well rounded as a player - of course kessel is much younger!

When did Clarkson become a better defensive forward than Kulemin, or more specifically played any defense at all? At worst Kuli is the 2nd best defensive forward.....Bolland is a nice player but his defensive acumen is getting overrated on these boards in my opinion

Id put Bozak ahead of McClemment. Agree with the rest.

 

[ConnorTO]

Phil the Thrill
then ama give it to Lups Troops...
and then right after, the dirty Kadri

course there's no telling Kadri's future impact on the game

and JVR is solid too

I don't think there can be an overall rating. They're all important in certain regards and need to do their job in order for this team to have success. Goal scoring is obviously the most important thing (can't win games if the forwards aren't scoring), but after that the little things add up.

In no universe is Bozak better defensively than Kulemin.

Interesting isn't it?

I guess one could argue McClement is about as good overall a player as Kessel.

Should he, too, be looking for north of 7 million per year on his next contract?
