If it's based on last season, I don't get how come Spezza is listed at 23rd but the Sedins are both top 10. Their ranking should be a lot closer than 13 positions.

The rankings were based on the overall ability of the player not just who scored the most points. I do not watch Vancouver a ton, but would you say the Sedins are better defensively than Spezza?
No,
Spezza is more than adequate defensively.
I'm not asking how good Spezza is defensively. I am asking are the Sedins better in other areas(such as defense) that could account for why they are rated higher despite putting up less points?

Danny won an Art Ross one year, And Hank won the Hart and Art Ross the year beofre that. Kinda hard to argue with ranking them over Spez
Yes they did had one very good year.
In spezza 4 best years he has an pt per game average of 1.299, 1.324,
1.211 & 1.211 (fun fact: exact same stats for 11-12 and 07-08 76g, 34g, 58a, 92pts)
Both Sedins can't compare with that.
Hand us the ****ing Cup already.
Also: Parise is wayyyy too high.
I dont understand the Parise love.
All 3 are there for their offensive stats which Spezza blows them out of the water.
Henrik has a career point average per game of 0.837, Daniel of 0.835 and Jason of 1.016.
Spezza is better in face offs, plays some PK time while the Sedins don't. All 3 don't hit or block shots.
No, Sedins don't do defense, Spezza does a little bit defense.
I remain surprised at how people give any kind of creedence to rankings like these, especially when made by TSN as a build up to the shortened season...
And I don't get the Eric Staal love either. How can he be ahead of his brother??? He has done nothing in the last 5 years or so, all of a sudden many are putting the canes in the playoffs because they got Jordan...Makes no sense to me! Seems like Jordan is more important than Eric. Plus, Spezza is a much better player IMO...

I look at Staal as a grittier spezza.
