Nice list, wouldn't include Sedin though.

Even when he's a PPG+ he just feels like a low impact player. Would replace him with Getzlaf.

Duchene lol..?

I've watched 5 avalanche games this season and his skating and shot are amazing... he looks like Crosby volume 2 right now. I no it's a small sample size but it's not like he's a no named guy he's been a star for a couple years now

Honestly its so difficult to pin point a top 10.

Duchene is an amazing player though to the guy who said he isnt top 10 material.

Don't think hes been a star for a couple of years now. If you look at it statistically, in 11-12, he had 28 points in 58 games

He has risen his level of play lately though. Give it time

There's a universal list with some others being debatable.

Crosby
Malkin
Ovechkin
Stamkos
Toews
Datsyuk

Agreed.

Beside the fact that Kane had a quicker start to his career, I don't see how he is any better than Kessel.

Duchene doesn't belong on that list. (Yet, anyhow.)

Kessel is a top 10 scorer but even as a Leaf fan I'd have him out of the top 10. Probably in the 15-20 range

Tavares is overated he has done nothing more than Kessel in all areas. If you consider Tavares top 10 you have to consider Kessel. Sheesh had to listen to the Carolina broadcast and their announcers commented that Kessel was the number 2 or 3 sniper in the league while skating get at full speed.

I've been saying this for a while now.

In the past 4 years, Kessel has produced 64, 82, 52 and now 14 points.

In the past 4 years, Tavares has produced 67, 81, 47 and now 13 points.

Where is the separation?

This.
Kessel has more points this season, over the last 2 seasons, over the last 3 seasons and over the last 4 seasons.

Yet according to HF Kane is a top 10 players and Kessel isn't even top 20.
