I.E.
Came in here to post Gallagher but it's close because he does more when not scoring, but...

Easily Gally. Used to be close, now it's not.

Not close? In what world? They have nearly identical goal and point paces, just that Gally blew up last year while Toffoli had a bad year, but they've both been playing long enough to have history to suggest they're practically equal in that regard.

Was it 'not close' the previous three years when Toffoli hit 58 pts and outscored Gally every year?

Gally brings much more than scoring. Their statlines are similar but the net-front presence he brings gives him a clear edge. There is not a game where he isn't a huge factor/distraction that leads to a habs goal.

Marchand Hall Kucherov Gallagher Forsberg Dadonov Eberle Marchessault are the easy ones. I’d probably pick Giroux and Ovechkin to round out my top 10.
Eberle, Gallagher are easy ones? Ahead of Gaudreau, Kane, Rantanen, Wheeler, Arvidsson, Panarin, Radulov, Pastrnak, Kessel, Voracek, Rakell, Tarasenko, Benn, Granlund, Landeskog, Marner, really now...

Dom hates Rantanen and never gives him the credit he's due so I didn't expect him in his top 10. Dadonov who had 1 60 point season, Marchessault, Eberle being the easy picks while Ovechkin is a probably is just so facepalm worthy. Wheeler couldn't even crack that list? Like holy hell.

The mental gymnastics required to even make that list is incredible.

Rantanen wouldn’t even be in my top 150 bud

That was a slight exaggeration. Rantanen wouldn’t make my top 150 forwards. Idk for wingers alone.

And this is why nobody takes anything you say seriously. That you choose Jordan Eberle over Rantanen is just.. it's honestly amazing.

I needed the laughs today kid. Thanks. I hate making fun of ignorant teenagers but you're doing it to yourself with this one.

I like Gallagher. A lot. But there's no way he's a top 10 winger in the league. He's a better version of Patric Hornqvist: gritty, dangerous in front of net. Unlike Marchand or Arvidsson, he doesn't have hands nor speed.

But for the poll, I'd take Gallagher before Toffoli.
