Top 10 Forwards In The North Division

[CatchyTune]

1-Josh Anderson
2-Tyler Toffoli
3-Connor McDavid
4-Leon Draisaitl
5-Auston Matthews
6-Mitch Marner
7-Cole Caufield
8-Elias Pettersson
9-Mark Scheifele
10-Kyle Connor

you forgot Kotka

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

you forgot Kotka

It was between him and Connor for 10th. I went with Connor because he doesn't have a freaky mole on his upper lip.

 

[Snipes45]

Who are the best 10 forwards playing up North? For me:

1. McDavid
2. Matthews
3. Draisaitl
4. Marner
5. Schiefele
6. Tavares
7. Pettersson
8. Wheeler
9. M.Tkachuk
10. Miller

The first few are pretty obvious but near the end it gets tough. I have a "just missed the cut" list but I want to hear others rankings first. Let me know if you disagree/agree with anything.

Fire away!

You could even say Marner is 3rd right now. Draisaitl has been injured for a while. He has looked off for a good 2 weeks. Affecting his skating. Missed practice a few times to rest. I would have Marner at #2 honestly. He has been having a great year. #1 in ES points

 

[Suntouchable13]

JT is not even close to top 10 forwards in the North division right now. If you're including him, then you have to include Nuge and Nylander.

 

[Zamknij kurwa ryj]

McDavid
Draisaitl
Marner
Schiefele
Matthew's

I'd have Marner definitely slotted ahead of Matthews. He's the guy that drives the play on that line.

 

[SlafCaufield]

i knew this was coming. both are having good seasons but neither are top 10.

lol right now they definitely are,, anderson for sure

muzzin shaking in his boots everytime Andy is on the ice

 

[Javaman]

Boeser should be ahead of Miller on this list. And ahead of Horvat, fwiw.

 

[hamzarocks]

lol right now they definitely are,, anderson for sure

muzzin shaking in his boots everytime Andy is on the ice

Anderson is on path to another 47 point season.. while making 5.5 million, being a non factor as the season moves along and helping his team tank away their chances of being a competitive playoff team

52 pt pace per 82 rn and dropping fast. Why is mtl so bad at signing contracts?

Price one of the worst deals in the league, anderson on path to become a bad contract, drouin a bad contract, edmunson a bad contract

Hopefully habs avoid overpaying their crop of 2C-3Cs and 2bd pairing defensive prospects

 

[Buck Naked]

Brady Tkachuk should be on more of those lists.

 

[snipes]

1. McDavid
2. Draisaitl
3. Matthews
4. Schiefele
5. Marner
6. Pettersson
7. Ehlers
8. Gaudreau
9. Horvat
10. Connor

HM: Toffoli, RNH, Wheeler, Tavares, Turtlechuk, and Boeser. Stutzle will be on this list in short order as well.

Some elite, elite forwards in the North. Best collection of high end forwards of any of the divisions in the NHL.

funny how you say Anderson, because if anyone Toffoli looks to be doing better.

not gonna entertain the antics though. neither are top 10. not even in consideration.

 

[Dion TheFluff]

How can Matthew’s be ranked ahead of draisaitl?

because he's better

 

[mpp9]

Very easily. The fact that you have Matthew Tkachuk over him tells me you don't watch Calgary.

He's been one of the top scorers in the league since he joined while carrying the worst "1C" in the league.

He's quickly becoming the most underrated winger in the league.

Yep. Dudes gonna get moved and kill it as a supporting piece on another team. Kessel style.

 

[bukwas]

Scheifele
Draisaitl
Marner
Petterson
Tavares
McDavid
Connor
Matthews
Wheeler
Gaudreau
A few candidates that are really close that could have made the cut.

 

[Jaytee]

Winnipeg will never have one of the top three players on that list.

Winnipeg should, however, have more players in the top ten than any other team. Just not top three. Which is fine. Hockey is a team game, and it's better to have several "A" level players than one or two "A+" players, with "Bs" and "Cs" to support them.

 

[snipes]

because he's better

Nope.

 

[shaner8989]

Based on this year alone

Mcdavid
Matthews
Marner
Draisaitl
Schiefele
Ehlers
Toffoli
Boeser
Gaudreau
Tavares

 

[Zenos]

Brady Tkachuk should be on more of those lists.

I'm a big fan of what Brady does... But I can see why he's not on too many lists. He's probably somewhere in that 7-15 range and a lot of posters will err towards players with a longer track record / sample size.

Here's mine:

McDavid
Mathews
Draisaitl
Scheifele
Marner
Pettersson
Gaudreau
Connor
B. Tkachuck
Wheeler

Disclaimer: I tend to value centres a bit higher, and I'm looking more in terms of over multiple seasons, not just the last 20 or so games (sorry Habs players).

 

[The Moose is Loose]

1. McDavid
2. Draisaitl
3. Matthews
4. Schiefele
5. Marner
6. Connor
7. Tavares
8. Gaudreau
9. Pettersson
10. Wheeler

I agree. Schiefele, Wheeler, Connor, Ehlers, and Dubois are all top line caliber players. Although none are bonafide superstars having 5 1st liners (so basically 2 1st lines) along with good depth will make for a very strong forward group.

Not according to US market fans North division isn't even NHL teams according to some. I'd put Tavares and the ninja turtle in place of the canucks duo, pretty much agree with the rest.

 

[Pyrophorus]

Its ok, Muzzin's team always wins.

 

[MessierII]

because he's better

He’s really not though

 

[brock0791]

Wheeler has the counting stats but if you probably asked jets fans to rank their forwards based on this season alone it would be

Shiefele
Ehlers
Connor
Wheeler
PLD

Connor over Ehlers if we're talking last couple years but Ehlers slightly ahead this season. PLD just getting his legs but great last 2 games... Would maybe put him ahead of Wheeler but Wheels has also turned it around defensively lately

Jets have 5 in the top 15 forsure. Any 5 of them could be in the top 10 in North scoring in a given year
