Ranking The TOP 25 NHL PLAYERS 2023! 

Growing Glizzy trees in his retirement 😂

@@Wattupaworkinthat doesn’t explain pat maroon

In the press box Edit want to be clear this is a joke.

Taking credit for a cup he didn’t win lol.

4 cup Phil confirmed?

A lot of solid players missed a lot of time and we’re still able to recover and have meaningful careers. Like Crosby

I'm keeping my eye on Lonzo Ball as he has the same injury and if memory serves right, he got his procedure a few months ahead of Landy so it hopefully can act as an indicator of what's to come because yeah, if that's it for the Captain, that would be a bummer. And also would start to elude to a Swedish Injury Hex on the Avs...

Definitely 👍

I think Nichuskin deserves more praise aswell

Markstrom #1

Vasilevskiy, bobrovsky, and shesterkin are my top 3

Him and Heiskanen deserve it more than those guys. He included Hintz and Robertson, but Miro is the best Dallas Stars player

Flames fan wouldn't have him on this list tho

heiskanen is overrated. not that many number1 dman with the amount of giveaways he gets every year. @@zcohen17

I 100% agree.

the only defenseman better is Cale Makar. Every one except him think differently. He and Makar are 10 times better than every other defenseman.

He was also playing injured. He's that good 👍

They are similar. Only difference is that they have 3 cups.

@@chelious1973team effort

Just because Malkin did good a couple years doesn’t mean much. Sid has been far more consistent 1,500 points and a 210 +-

@bleachroxmysox22 not saying he's better, just that he's been a top 5 forward in the league over the 2010s and a lot of people don't recognize that

Absolutely. Malkin is a top 3 player of his generation. As you mentioned, he spent over a decade as a top 3-5 player every season, and the 2 guys who were consistently better happen to be better than just about everybody in history.

He has won a Norris. Doubt he will come close again tho

Josi is fantastic

Malkin won multiple cups lol

My firsts thought as well! Coming from a bruins fan

Yep, and maybe Matiac Macelli too :)

@@imulippo5245 we'll see, he's a promising prospect but he's on a trashy yotes team and stutzle already has a 90 point season under his belt

Matthew Tkchuck is better

@@ethanvanloon4452 he would be my second choice

As an Avs fan, I'd definitely say that he's in the discussion along with Kaprizov, Marner, and Tkcuck. You could honestly make a top 4 winger list and put them in any order and make good arguments for all.

@@ethanvanloon4452and Pasta is better still.

@@gavindough3344Pasta, Kuctch, Kaprisiv, Tkcuck, Is my top 4

Appreciate you agamer! Cheers!

lol

Easily

I’m confused how Dahlin isn’t on this list now. If he is - I didn’t see him

He just continues being underrated... Imo he is the 2nd best Finn after Rantanen.

The way you said dark ages

Sounds like the Great Depression

That's a SAD fact, actually: the guy who made the video KNOWING the correct pronunciation of a name, only to mock it & continue by using the incorrect one. There is no such thing as the "American pronunciation" of name. The name is the name.

Come on Kevin! Matthews scoring 52 goals in 57 games! In 1980s Gretzky's time NHL 8 goals per game! Today NHL only 6 goals per game! If Matthews have played in 1982 he could have scored closer to 100 goals breaking Gretzky's 92 goals record! Ovechkin would have score high scoring 1980s easily over 1000 goals!

Quin Hughes top 25😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

@@Harveylittle18This comment did not age well lol

I agree about barkov

Matthews is above Kucherov and Crosby no? At this point in kuch and Crosby career they are on a decline, Matthews in his prime and has better numbers, I agree with that tier list but drop Crosby and Kuch for Matthews.

@@obi-wankenobigoatKucherov at 30 is still giving Matthews back shots in offensive production so no. And if you include playoffs there’s not a debate. Matthews isn’t much worse tho

​@@obi-wankenobigoat better than Crosby, ahhh no, and not sure what you mean by he is playing at a decline.... have you seen his numbers for this year?!!

@@sinevins for starters Matthews clearly has better stats right now, secondly do a simple comparison of Crosby stats from this year to last year and 2 years ago, not as good, decline

You have what most people call autism

Fox and Heiskanen were both left off the list as well tbf.

@@iCoolaxe yeah that is true

Tbh im really not sure theres a way to justify not having Draisaitl at #2. Makar is the only possibility to dethrone him but i wonder if he'll ever be healthy enough consistently to do that.

​@@sojiroseta98how about the fact that he is a powerplay merchant? He isn't even top 60 in even strength goals. Dylan Strome had more even strength goals than him last year just put that into perspective. Not even top 10 in even strength points either. Still a great player but I think 2 is a little high.

@@hockeyhamrincry about it bro 😂 the point of the power play is to score…… if it were so easy why does no one else score so many power-play goals, also did it ever occur to you how many potential even strength goals he could’ve had but someone took a penalty on him to prevent it causing him to go on power play and then score.

@hockeyhamrin THATS your argument?? You smokin something strong? Ok so lets go with your metric here, the so called 'PP Merchant'. Ok so his competition is what Makar, Mackinnon, Kucherov? I even added Crosby's best 5 point total years...heres a surprising fact (though its only surprising if you just go with narratives) Heres what i confirmed, last 5 point total years (best 5 for Crosby, only 4 for Makar: 1)Makar - 43% of his pts are PP 2)Crosby - 41% of his pts were PP 3) Kucherov - 39% of his pts were PP 4)Draisaitl - 36% of his pts were PP 5)Mackinnon - 35% of his pts were PP So with that said, based on your argument, it seems that despite the fact that all of these players play/played on stacked PPs it seems like Crosby was actually the real merchant of PP as you say, yet he doesnt have that rep....if you actually look at the facts on average most NHL superstars throughout history were in that 35-40% pp points range so that completely destroys this narrative about Leon. I didnt even bother with Matthews because he doesnt even put up enough assists to rank with them. That being said i wouldnt personally judge them on points alone, Leon's playoff performances alone were enough to place him at #2 to begin with...just one example.

@@sojiroseta98 bro u fucking killed him 😂 I love u

Eichel had a great post-season, his season was pretty mediocre

yeah Thompson don't make the list now so u were wrong, don't think I would put Eichel there either to be honest

Fs, easily the second best d-man

not even a top 30 player

@@poloyipclips7476literally a top 2-5 d-man, that deserves being in top 25

@@obi-wankenobigoat id rather have: Makar, McAvoy, Hedman, karlsson, q. hughes, josi, heiskanen, doughty, seider, ekblad, and letang just off the top of my head. Fox is massively overrated

@@poloyipclips7476 u clearly not looking at the numbers then, not very far behind in points to makar and has better defense than over half those guys you listed

Who else managed to shutdown mcdavid? No one

@@edited1325 Ever heard of a legend by the name of William Karlsson?

@@theturtlefamily9531 lol he ain’t even close the reason why the oilers lost is because of depth and physically issues in the playoffs Vegas was loaded

@@edited1325​​⁠​⁠​⁠I’ve seen Heiskanen clamp Mcdavid but other than that no one.

😐

Bru how the hell is Matthew's number 2 for you, all of draisaitl, Makar, McKinnon, and kucherov are better.

Haha your list appears better then the videos

Not that much of a hot take imo, he does everything that MacKinnon and Matthews can do but better. Has Matthews scoring ability, MacKinnon’s physicality, and is #1 passer in the league. That’s a #2 player all day.

He needs a full season before ever being considered for these.

As a fellow Habs fan, u cant possibly still care about Looocic lol. Now what HE needs to worry about is running into WiFi's much younger and eager hands 😅

@@sojiroseta98 the bruins v habs are gonna be sick this year bro

@@Mrhockey679 No doubt!
