Recommended Posts

I've been following Adam Gretz on Fanhouse for the last couple of weeks as he catalogs the NHL's (current) top 50 players.. He reached #1 today and though it would bring some healthy dialog to the forums.

Top 5 I don't argue, but at least a few guys should be a little higher.

Doan definitely deserves to be there dont know what your talking about...

I agree with most of the list, probably not this order though.

Also ward and fleury missing wtf.

Not at the expense of someone like Ales Hesmky.

Ales is way more talented and has a better PPG than Doan.

There's also

Simon Gagné, if you want to use the ''he got more goals'' argument

Nicklas Backstrom of the WSH Caps is also no where to be found

So is Michael Cammaleri and Mike Ribeiro.

Also Lecavalier doesn't belong there anymore, 67 points in 77 game.

And don't bring the shitty teamates thing, St-Louis and Prospal are sure better than Ales' Horcoff+Nobody and Ribeiro Eriksson+Bruunstrom

Hemsky over Doan? barf

Vinny had a 1 bad season on a horrendous hockey club.

Niklas is the GOALIE (MIN)

Nicklas is the CENTER (WSH)

Get your facts straight.

But still

Backstrom is way better than Doan, so is Gagné and Cammalerie.

I definitely disagree with this list.

and I think a proper list would have to be a top 100.

A lot of vets and young talent that deserve mention that arent on this list.

So you are disagreeing with the list being 50 players in length?

I personally think that #1 isn't high enough for Malkin. But otherwise, I find no value in these lists as hockey is not a 1 on 1 game, therefore making it very difficult and highly subjective to accurately rank the talent of players. But really... what I'm trying to say is that the entire Pittsburgh Penguin roster should be ranked ahead of the entire Philadelphia Flyers roster. Ok that's all.

I agree with the iginla at #5

he can score, and hes one of the best team players/captians in the league

That's not the point of Houli's comment, the point is that, that drunken so called analyst mispelled the damn name of his 5th overall pick as best player
