Why is faceoff percentage being listed?
Preds have to be in the discussion here...
Johansen
Turris
Bonino
Fisher
With Jarnkrok and Sissons available to rotate in when needed as well.
Eh..I don't think they are near the tops. Johansen is good but he's not an elite #1. Turris is a solid #2. Bonino is nothing special. Fisher is alright. It's great center depth compared to Nashville's center depth in years past thats for sure. With that defense it's nasty.
Sheifele > Matthews
Stastny > Kadri
Little > Bozak
Lowry > Plek
No... Leafs aren't top 3.. Pitts, Edmonton forsure, Winnipeg, Nashville ahead as well
I'll give you Little and Lowry over Bozak/Pleks but there's big arguments for Matthews and Kadri over Scheifele and Stastny. They both share almost identical stat lines this season despite Matthews playing with lesser linemates (Connor/Ehlers = Nylander roughly, and then potential Hart candidate Blake Wheeler on the other side versus Hyman).
Kadri last 2 yrs: 153 gp, 60 goals, 51 assists, 111 points (59.4 pace while being used in a shutdown role)
Stastny last 2 yrs: 139gp, 33 goals, 57 assists, 90 points (53.1 pace, not familiar with his usage but he played 1-2 mins more than Kadri with STL and I presume was their #1 with those mins)
