[Filthy Dangles]

definitely not top 10.

probably top 20 though

 

[Kcb12345]

Top 10 left wingers? Sure.

Wingers overall? Probably top 10-15

 

[KoozNetsOff 92]

No order, off the top of my head.

Ovechkin
Benn
Marchand
Gaudreau
Hall
Kucherov
Kane
Tarasenko
Wheeler
Kessel
Voracek

Then you have guys like Laine, Stone, etc. So definitely not top 10.

Giroux is also a winger now

 

[sparxx87]

Above Martin Erat.

 

[McNurse]

I would say top 20 for sure

 

[SotasicA]

He is the 34th best winger in the league.

A legit first line player.

A legit first line player.

No, just because he's 34th in scoring for wingers doesn't mean he's the 34th best winger in the league, it doesn't work that way, you're not accounting for the games he's missed and his elite defensive play.

I'd say he's around 10-20 though.

 

[tgo0]

Somewhere in the 15-25 range. Once you get outside the top 12 or so it's really tough to separate one from another.

 

[PatrikBerglund]

Hf boards always focus 90% on offence, ignoring defensive prowess.

 

[SHANNYPLAN]

15-20

 

[crackdown44]

Hf boards always focus 90% on offence, ignoring defensive prowess.

Defensive prowess is considerably less important for wingers than it is for centers and defensemen

 

[RomanEmpire]

Was on pace for a monster season before he broke his wrist & missed 11 games. Also 3 more for the idiotic suspension.

 

[Minnesnota]

Top 20 but comfortably outside the top 10.

 

[ESH]

Hf boards always focus 90% on offence, ignoring defensive prowess.

That’s not true and you know it

 

[SotasicA]

I'd say he's around 10-20 though.

That was some coincidence. He is really 34th in scoring?

 

[psycat]

15-20 for me but you could slot him anywhere between 10-30 really.

 

[Bjornar Moxnes]

Forsberg is not elite defensively, especially in his own zone.

 

[MrSnrub]

Hf boards always focus 90% on offence, ignoring defensive prowess.

You forget, this is HF. Wingers don't play defense; in fact they're good for almost nothing at all.

 

[varano]

Probably top 5-7 LW

 

[tony d]

Somewhere between 10 and 20 for me.

 

[Saidin]

Top 10, just like all the other 20-30 people in the top 10 (HF Logic)

 

[Soundgarden]

Forsberg is not elite defensively, especially in his own zone.

Really? He and Jarnkrok are our best defensive forwards.
