[Nick Hansen]

I'd say top five, honestly.

Kucherov
Kane
Ovechkin
Draisatl
Gaudreau

 

[CF84]

He's really really really good!!! I hope I've helped you.

 

[djpatm]

#1 if this is the real Gaudreau. Won't say that until the seasons over though. He is next level right now.

 

[PunkRockLocke]

He certainly looks good so far this season. I'd say probably top 10, not top 5. If he sustains this play for this season though, he could move up

 

[IPS]

10-15th sounds about right.

To be honest, you've got to watch him. It's really hard sometimes to trust other people's opinions because we are all so different in what we think. You're better off taking a look at him yourself and see why he is tied in points with Kucherov and will most likely be contending for the top spot in points in the league. I know Stamkos and Kucherov are good on their own, but they also have the benefit of being on the same line. Gaudreau is driving the Flames' 1st line and helping Monahan and Ferland have career years.

 

[Weast]

I'd easily put him top 5

He's been an Art Ross talent since the beginning. Issues before this year were teams were allowed to slash his hands all game to make him lose pucks. Which wasn't a hockey play, it was BS.

Now he is allowed to play hockey and he is unguardable.

 

[VoluntaryDom]

latest ranking I have made has him anywhere from 2nd to 5th. is that about fair?

 

[Haatley]

10-15th sounds about right.

Lmao
Would be hard pressed to name 10-15 that are better than him.

 

[Yasuo]

10-15th sounds about right.

More points than Marner and Nylander combined

 

[Spirit of 67]

I'd easily put him top 5

Agreed. He's up there near the top. Maybe at the top during a hot streak.

 

[Chef de Cuisine]

Top 5

 

[SeidoN]

at least top 200

 

[flamesforcup]

More points than Marner and Nylander combined

hes so salty Gaudreau has more than Matthews Nylander and Marner

 

[Duffalufagus]

I'd say top five, honestly.

Kucherov
Kane
Ovechkin
Draisatl
Gaudreau

Drai isn’t playing in the same universe as Johnny right now. Not even in the conversation, really. Ovechkin, in 2017/18, not on same level either.

Edit: the Great 8 with two beauties in the first!

 

[jetsforever]

Definitely top 10, maybe top 5. We'll see after this season is finished.

 

[OvermanKingGainer]

I'd say top five, honestly.

Kucherov
Kane
Ovechkin
Draisatl
Gaudreau

One of these things is not like the other.
One of these things, doesn't belong.
Can you Tell which thing is not like the others
By the time, Leon stops playing with Conner.

 

[Paradoc]

#2.

1. Kucherov
2. Gaudreau
3. P.Kane
4. Tarasenko
5. Ovechkin

HM: Benn, Voracek, Stone, Wheeler, Kuznetsov, Marchand

 

[bring back the jets]

He needs to keep it up for the season but he certainly looks top 5 right now.

True, Kane beat up a cab driver, but this is about hockey.

 

[KoozNetsOff 92]

Kucherov and Kane are #1 and #2. After that there's a group of Ovechkin, Benn, Tarasenko imo. Gaudreau slots in anywhere there so #3-6.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

He’s in a tier, without a question.

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

60 points in his last 45 games.

173 points in 173 games when you exclude his rookie year. Only Kane and Kucherov have a higher PPG among wingers since Gaudreau's sophomore year, and he's done it with way less support than others.

I'd say there's a good argument for him to be #1. Though I've been arguing that for years.
