Not sure how Nylander doesn't crack the top 50 but oh well.

Matthews is also going to be top 10 on the NHL.com's ranking as well which will release soon.

Yeah, tough list to crack

Sorry about that, was having trouble pasting on my iPad.

Maybe someone could add a working link?

Willys gonna take the league by storm this year

I posted in the marner thread by accident. But Nylander I believe gets underrated by the media especially Toronto media, Marner and Nyladner are near identical level talents so if one is 50 the other has to be 51.

 

[DarkKnight]

If you think the two are really close, then Marner gets the edge because he's a year younger?

Literally think Nylander is a better player than Marner ..... I know I'm not alone.

At this point probably. Having a year of development ahead and having a more pro ready frame is to his benefit as well. I'm just glad we don't have to choose and can watch both of these talents for years to come.

personally I think Nylander is better, but absolutely I bet age was considered and if they need a tie breaker its a fair reason to use. I cant open the link but they had the 51 player so I assume they had HM's and Nylander wasn't one of them they aren't 10 spots away fomr each other. If Marner was 50 id say Nylander would have to be in the next 5 at worst

This is assuming Marner will get a "pro ready frame". I can't see him getting much bigger but I could be wrong. Maybe he gets those MSL tree trunks

Austin comes in at #10 and Mitch grabs the last spot at #50 on TSN ranking.

If you at only forwards dropping Karlsson, Price, Burns and Hedman from the top 10 then Matthews is considered the 6th best forward in the game based on these rankings.

If you remove defencemen and goalies, where does Marner rank?

I give Marner an edge in terms of creativity and playmaking ability, but I agree that Nylander is the better overall player at this point.

Ctrl-f, "Werenski", 0 Results.

Kucherov ahead of Matthews is funny.

#33 by my count.

Nylander's exclusion is surprising from my perspective, but just as surprising perhaps is Nazem Kadri's exclusion - maybe even more so.

That being said, these lists are tough to make, and you're always going to exclude good players.

 

[ToneDog]

Yeah, tough list to crack

Pastrnak at #36 and Willie not on the list. Hopefully Lou can sign Willie to a nice cap friendly deal.

Kuch is a beast. He's pretty much a sure bet for >PPG and he's defensively responsible

Draft comparisons

2016 Draft .. Matthews #10 ... Laine #26
2015 Draft .. McDavid #1 ... Eichel #21 .... Marner #50

And the declining Johnny T is #9.

Tavares #13 ranked (9th best forward) ..

A Matthews and Tavares 1-2 punch down the middle & have 2 of top 15 NHL players in the league is going to make us a powerhouse.
