Interesting comparing this list to our picks. Biggest discrepancies:

Toews picked at 6 ranked at 2.
Datsyuk picked at 8 ranked at 14.
Seguin picked at 14, ranked at 25.
Chara picked at 42 ranked at 23.
Duchene picked at 43 ranked at 26.
Backes picked at 31 ranked at 51.
Varlamov picked at 122 ranked at 49.

[count2infinity]

Taylor hall picked at 32 ranked at... 32.

[mikey287]

Underrated on both counts probably, arguably the best or second best LW in the circuit...well, Ovy is back on the left, so 2nd or 3rd...

[Staggy]

Parise, MacKinnon, Pavelski, and Couture are all better than Kessel?






I also just don't understand what the criteria is where Stamkos can be ranked 3rd but Malkin is 6th.

[MRandall25]

60 goal seasons and durability?

[Staggy]

I can buy durability but the 60 goal year was three seasons ago and also when Malkin made the league his personal playground. When Malkin is healthy I take him over anybody not named Sidney by a decent margin. But he has had consistent health problems so I guess it is fair to drop him a couple spots.

My top 5 would probably look something like Crosby Malkin Stamkos Ovechkin Weber with some order of Giroux Doughty Getzlaf Tavares/Kopitar/Toews rounding out the top 10.

People love goals.
