Looking for some help on my annual rating project. Shouldn't take more than 15 mins if you watched most of the Sharks games last season. So the three areas that I'm seeking input are:
  • Player Role: This is really what type of player they are, and specifically where they would slot into the average NHL team, not necessarily San Jose. So they could be Elite/All-Star, 1st liner, 2nd liner, 3rd liner, 4th liner/Scratch, Minor leaguer, High-end prospect, Low-end prospect. (don't rate 1-5 here, just list what role they are)
  • Skating: Straight ahead speed should be the primary consideration. Rate on the provided scale where 1 is the lowest, 5 is the highest and 3 is average.
  • Defense: Overall defensive skill but primarily gap control and using their stick and body to neutralize an attacker. Rate on the provided 1-5 scale.
The Scale:
5 - Well above average
4 - Above average
3 - Average
2 - Below Average
1 - Well below average
(In reality some player could be a 0 or 6, for example McDavid would rate as a 6 in skating, this would be an extremely rare case and most teams won't have a 0 or 6 in any area)

I need only 2-3 submissions, and the help is extremely appreciated!

For reference, here are the players that I'm looking for:
Joe Thornton
Tomas Hertl
Jonny Brodzinski
Lean Bergmann
Lukas Radil
Alexander True
Logan Couture
Joel Kellman
Noah Gregor
Dylan Gambrell
Maxim Letunov
Antti Suomela
Melker Karlsson
Evander Kane
Marcus Sorensen
Danil Yurtaykin
Timo Meier
Stefan Noesen
Kevin Labanc
Joachim Blichfeld
Brent Burns
Dalton Prout
Jacob Middleton
Brandon Davidson
Marc-Edouard Vlasic
Radim Simek
Trevor Carrick
Nikolai Knyzhov
Erik Karlsson
Mario Ferraro
Tim Heed

You're missing our 3 high-end or fringe high-end prospects in Merkley, Leonard, and Pasichnuk. Most of the prospects listed on there would be low-end. Those 3 should at least see some time in the pro's next year, with full seasons at the AHL level at minimum.

I wouldn't include anyone outside of this list. Some have either signed with foreign leagues (Heed) or are FA(M. Karlsson, amongst others) Most of the prospects listed don't have a chance to see pro ice.

Joe Thornton
Tomas Hertl
Logan Couture
Joel Kellman
Noah Gregor
Dylan Gambrell
Evander Kane
Marcus Sorensen
Timo Meier
Stefan Noesen
Kevin Labanc
Joachim Blichfeld

Brent Burns
Marc-Edouard Vlasic
Radim Simek
Nikolai Knyzhov
Erik Karlsson
Mario Ferraro

Our forwards are terrible as a whole. Even including Marleau's return.
