Don't take into account contracts or age. Rank them based on pure talent. Like a draft board for just this year. Don't take into account a rookie that you think could be a top 6/top 4 player in 2 years. Where does that player rank in 2018-2019?
You can rank more than 10. I just want to get a feel for which players are the best on each team outside of the obvious.
Blues:
1: Ryan O'Reilly
2: Alex Pietrangelo
3: Vladimir Tarasenko
4: Colton Parayko
5: Brayden Schenn
6: Jaden Schwartz
7: Jay Bouwmeester (when healthy)
8: Vince Dunn
9: David Perron
10: Jordan Binnington (I know! Small sample)
-I have long held that Petro was our best and most important player and it could still be true. However, ROR is insanely great! Tarasenko has become a bit too streaky and inconsistent defensively to be top 2.
-Schenn and Schwartz are about even. I gave Schenn the nod for his ability to play very well at center. You could definitely flip these two.
-Bouwmeester is still a top pairing D-man when his hip is healthy. It's so great to have the old Jay back. This dude just busts his tail every night.
-7 through 10 on this list was very difficult. The top 6 is pretty far separated from the rest. The top 3 is on another level from 4-6.
-How could I not put Binnington at 10?! He has gotten better every year in the AHL and is now great in the NHL.
