Top 100 Players of the Decade

[elocomotive]

Midseason/holiday lull, so here's an inject for some debate - ESPN just put out it's top 100 players of the 2010s.

Here it is:
The top 100 NHL players of the decade

Any thoughts?

No Hal Gill?

Two surprises for me:
-Alex Semin is on the list?
-Connor McDavid is #2? C'mon, only has played for half the decade. I wouldn't put him ahead of the rest of the top 10 if this is truly for accomplishments from 2010-2019.

Barkov makes the list, but the guy with the most goals from the Barkov draft does not. Good work Puck Daddy

 

[BGDave]

Agreed. I clicked on the link only to see where they put McDavid. As player of the Decade, no way he goes ahead of Ovi. Or Karlsson. Or....yeah #10 looks about right to me.

Connor McDavid is #2? C'mon, only has played for half the decade.

And he only plays in half the rink as well.

We should vote in our own all decade team. I'll start polls for the various positions if there is interest.

 

[Nosferatu]

Kane should be higher.

Kane should be higher.

Yup...So should MAF.

I think they should leave Thornton off the list. Not for any reasons of merit, I just think it’d be a fun running gag to not include him in any top 100 lists.

Yeah that one is very odd. Almost like they just put him on there to cause a Stir.
For that matter Jagr really wasn't that good this past decade.

Here are the players in the top 50 for scoring this past decade not on the list:

Eberle
Stepan
Stastny
Spezza
Neal
