  1. Stop with the otter nonsense. Dude is a pretender not a contender. He’s the Dak Prescott of the NHL. Wouldn’t even make the top 10 of this list.

    1. Mikko
    2. Miro
    3. Harley
    4. Hintz
    5. Robo
    6. Esa

  2. Miro, Mikko, Robo, Otter, Hintz, Lindell. Harley and Duchene are both very close runner ups, but I put a lot of stock in Esa’s shut down ability.

  3. What blows my mind about Hintz’s injury is the amount of people from other fan bases saying it was a faked injury.

    I’ll give McDavid his props as one of the fastest skaters in the league, but Roope was stride for stride with him on that breakaway with a broken foot.
