Rank your teams forwards for this season

[Topkatz]

Following on from the defence thread, I thought it would be fun to rank the forwards too.

My opinion for the Oilers and some people are going to disagree with this :

McDavid


Draisaitl



Maroon

Lucic (based on play over all 82 games but higher right now)

Kassian (gamer)
Caggilua
Eberle (was lower until recently)
RNH (see above)
Slepyshev (needs more icetime)
Letestu
Pitlick (what could have been...)
Pool party (looked overwhelmed in the NHL mostly this year)

Khairja
Decharnais
Pakarainen
Pouliot
(Others)

Oh the stories we could tell in between these names, they look so neatly aligned like that. Innocent. But we'll spare letting everyone in on what crimes against the sport of hockey they committed.

Rantanen is awesome, Andrighetto was a rock star in his short time, Compher and Jost were promising, MacKinnon scratched out 50 points, which was an accomplishment.
