Miller easily given his last season. Even with some regression this year I would still have him comfortably above Boeser/Horvat

next one should be more contested

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Quinn Hughes.

Quinn Hughes.

FORWARDS only Seaboy

FORWARDS only Seaboy

I am well aware Q Hughes is a defenseman. He is still the 2nd best forward in my eyes

But ok fine...

Jonathan Tanner Miller.

 

[vadim sharifijanov]

in some ways miller is, in more ways imo horvat is, boeser can be and as the highest ceiling of them i hope he will be

 

[Fatass]

I’m thinking Petey s a bit behind Bo still.

In what? Age?

Not to knock on JT Miller's great season, but having a 1-2 punch at C is more important than the top line winger position. I expect JT to have another great season though.

 

[LuckyBoeser]

My order of the top four forwards in Vancouver would probably be: Pettersson, Miller, Boeser, Horvat

 

[Tables of Stats]

I'm going to agree that our top 4 forwards are Pettersson, Miller, Boeser, Horvat in that order, I'll go one further and say that Pearson is a lock at that 5th spot. The 6th spot is where we need to start asking if potential outweighs current ability as there are a lot of middle-six forwards on this roster.

I voted Miller. Based on last season is a "better" forward than Bo. However, I believe Bo is more important to the team if that makes any sense. LOL.

Bo is captain and an excellent 2nd line C who plays all the tough minutes. Team would miss him more than Miller if both were injured, IMO. When they are both up for contracts will be an interesting summer.

After this past playoff I would swap Boeser and Horvat in that rank, but that's my $0.02.

Pete is best, Bo is second best...after that we can dilly dally around.

 

[Andy Dufresne]

It's fair to argue Bo over JT, but i would point out that if necessary JT can play center. I mean if Pete or Bo were injured it would be an option, if both were out he definitely would be playing center. JT's consistent production vs Bo's occasional dry spells last year give JT the current edge for me.

It's close between the 2, and Boeser isn't that close imo, unless he starts scoring at the pace he was a couple years ago (possible), or rounds out his overall game a lot (it's improving but slowly).

 

[ChilliBilly]

Went with obvious choice here. The next one will be more interesting. slight edge to Bo in my mind, but if BB returns to form he wins next year.

The next 2 after that will be a toss up between JV and Pearson. I hope next year we have had to move gaudette up a long way. And that Podkolzin is in the running for 3rd spot.

Except Miller can play center better than Bo.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Miller. End of.

 

[supercanuck]

Except Miller can play center better than Bo.

Has he not primarily been a winger for his entire NHL career so far? What's his body of work as a centre? Honest question. I always saw him as a winger who can play centre if necessary.

 

[JAK]

We're still missing the GOAT #21

 

[Bougieman]

Gotta be Miller. Brock has regressed noticeably since his wrist and back injuries at the end of his rookie season, otherwise he would be an easy pick at #2. Now he's more like #4, likely. It's sad, what could have been. Unfortunately, we're still paying him like he's an Laine-level winger.
