[Bounces R Way]

Yikes.

really bad :\

 

[The Note]

I love ROR but he’s probably not even a top 10 player at his position, let alone the NHL.

 

[Kennedys]

Ryan O'Reilly is a top 10 player in the nhl. Alright...

 

[CgyFlamesftw]

Holy Hell that is bad.

 

[Trap Jesus]

Oh my god, a list that actually values two-way play

 

[bl02]

Interesting that 33 of 50 (quick count) didn't even make it to playoffs or past first round of playoffs.

 

[Allan92]

Good grief.

I don't know where to begin. Auston Matthews and Ryan O'Reilly are better players than Patrick Kane.

Sure

 

[Kennedys]

Oh my god, a list that actually values two-way play

A list that overrate two-way play

 

[Snippit]

HF lists are oddly enough significantly better than the ones I read from sites like this

 

[Dr John Carlson]

Gotta question a list that clearly values defensive play, yet ranks Kuznetsov at 34.

 

[Love]

Barkov, ROR, Vasilevskiy, Bishop, Stone, and Burns too high. Kane, Malkin, and Marchand way too low.

I don't know how one could possibly take Stone over Malkin and Marchand. Just think about how bad that is.

 

[KoozNetsOff 92]

Lol the "2 way" guys are getting into new levels of overrated. Htf is Kane not top 10 and Malkin at 25? Holy shit lol

 

[NotLeddy]

Eichel at 41 is an absolute joke

 

[Turin]

Malkin has one down year (still over a ppg) after a 98 point season following back to back Cups and he drops to 25. Unbelievable.

 

[joe dirte]

Malkin at 25 is way too low but i think theyre also weighting this last season pretty high.

Hes top 10 easy in my books still.

 

[McRpro]

Well at least they got #1 right.

 

[CallArnoldSlick]

Have to imagine this is the first time Crosby hasn't been top 2 since entering his second season.

 

[bambamcam4ever]

Oh my god, a list that actually values two-way play

No individual defensive play is going to make up a gap of 37 points, and I'm no Patrick Kane fan.

 

[joe dirte]

Its mostly not bad but there are a few things that stick way out.

O rielly way too high.
Pastrnak too high
Draisaitl way too high
Carey price shouldnt even be on the list given recent seasons.
Malkin wayyyyy too low
John gibson, giroux, and eichel way too low

I struggle with where to put serbob.

 

[Just Linda]

I have to wonder what the background of THN reporters are sometimes. It seems to be slipping more and more, I love their podcast but I don't see anyone on their team ever reaching the ability of some of the reporters who've gone through there.

Legit, anyone here know if anyone on their staff has a legit hockey background? Ken and Ryan (blanking on last names) seems to at least have a lot of connections that get them interviews for sure but yeah, they seem to have no inside sources and are 2-3 days behind posting anything about events.

 

[drew5580]

It’s astounding to me how underrated Jack Eichel is in this league.

 

[K Fleur]

I can't remember THN putting together a good list in my lifetime.

 

[Tripod]

3rd in scoring this decade
3 top 3 finishes in scoring...including 2nd place just 1 year ago
3 top 4 finishes in Hart voting....including just 1 year ago

Giroux will go down as one of the most under rated.
