Top 20 for sure. Top 10 is a tough call.
Crosby, Malkin, Ovie, Stamkos, Giroux and the twins are 7 already haha.

Parise is a bit overrated IMO. He holds around the same value as a healthy Kesler.

Joe Thornton | Kane? I would put St Louis over Kane.
I forgot which GM said this, but they said when you want to build a winning team, you need good centres as much as you need a good goalie. Or something in those terms.
But if you look at the top players in the league. Majority of them are centres.
Sidney Crosby
Evengi Malkin
Steven Stamkos
Jonathan Toews
Calude Giroux
John Tavares
Pavel Datsyuk

A little hockey news aside from Suter and Parise.

Great news on #Coyotes Brett MacLean. He's awake and coherent. Hope is to move out of I.C.U soon. Cause of collapse still undetermined.

Not in the top 20. Couture might be in the top 50. Gaborik maybe 30-40.
And you can't put Benn on a list that doesn't have James Neal.

Omg thank you Parise and Suter for not going to Detroit.
I'm pretty excited for this year. Detroit and Nashville aren't the same. Minny improved a bit, but not enough for them to cause much damage. Imo, LA and St. Louis are the only threats and the good thing is that they're both in different conferences.
I think it's likely that us, La, and STL will win the respective conferences, which means that we'll face them in the later stages of the playoffs, where anything can happen.
Seems like this is an awesome year for us to make the conference finals, barring injury or some unexpected team surprises us, a la LA this year.

Way to early to predict anything like that. Injuries always alter things.
Players in slumps, teams making blockbuster trades near deadline, etc
Anything can happen. Thinking about an easy path through playoffs
Is making the same mistake twice...

Wow. What else can you say? Looks good on the Canuck fans who have been running their mouths about Presidents trophies. Looks like there will be one more team that makes the playoffs in the Northwest. Great day for hockey in Minnesota
| what a fucking tool.... adding suiter and parise to the wilds doesnt mean they will make the playoffs... or the top of the northwest.

I hope this isnt the new trend where every top 50 player looks for a 10+ year 100 million dollar contract

Minnesota had a great first half of the season and then the wheels fell off. They are already a tough team to face against just had very little counter attack. While they might not be challengers for the Cup, they are a lot more competitive now. They have Brodin, Coyle, Phillips and Granlund as their top prospects that will either be with the team this year (Granlund and perhaps Brodin on D) or next year. Plus with Cullen and PMB off the books next year, with another potentially deep UFA list to try to pick from, Fletcher has done a great move for the Wild.
