Watching Matthews play makes me feel feelings that other people must feel who hate the Oilers and are forced to watch Mcdavid play for us. The list is fair at this point considering individual hardware.
No way Matt Hughes is ranked higher than Drai!
I’ve seen some well liked comments saying that Barkov is “obviously” better than Matthews. This is proof enough for me that people mostly know nothing about teams they dislike.
Personally I would put Barkov at 3, Drai at 4, and Matthews at 5.
It makes me sad every few spots Sid drops , I’m a massive McDavid Stan but I grew up on that guy like I’m sure plenty of us did
Man I could see this list be ok except for Pettersson at 10 he’s a good player but I think he’s over hyped
I don’t question his talent or anything but Bedard at 13 after only his injury riddled rookie season feels kinda early. But maybe not looking at it right
I’ve never cheered for the pens at any point in time. But it still makes me sad every time Crosby gets lower and lower on these lists. The league’s gonna be so weird without him and Ovi in a few years. Even McDavid being 27 already is bonkers
Sid is still top five.
i don’t think barkov is over crosby at this point, i’m still taking sid top 5
Of everyone on the list, I’m genuinely happy for Jack Eichel.
That neck fuse surgery was such a point of contention that Buffalo and him were incompatible. And it wasn’t a guarantee the surgery work. Or maybe the team dynamic wouldn’t work in Vegas. But he’s recovered to not just playable but to elite form. Good for him.
Although in general I still hold the opinion of: fuck Vegas.
Nothing wrong with being placed anywhere in the top 20 centers in the world. Aside from 2-3 guys here, this list will change any giving week in the season.
Pettersson above JT Miller is a…take
How to generate clicks for your list: Rank Matthews above Draisaitl
The top 4.. 3 of them still no cup.. sad..
Trochek needed to be on this list.
That is one solid list….
Oilers one of 3 teams to have 2 players on this list. And both are top 5 👌
Mack is fine in 2, jt I jsut can’t fucking understand matthews always being considered this high.
Am I the only one who thinks the guy is a very one dimensional player? His total game isn’t even close to drai.
Let nhl network think whatever they want. We already know who the top 2 centers are
Hughes is top-5 next year.
lol kopi not making no the list is absurd
I wouldn’t put bedard over larks yet, he hasn’t even done anything yet, and if you’d watch larks play he was a wayyyyyyt better defensive game too

Sidney should be higher.
[That’s #1 for 8 consecutive years now for the newlywed btw.](https://x.com/nhlnetwork/status/1826392839250739285?s=46&t=USPeUlsUhqHi4fs5TkwkWQ)
I take Hughes over Eichel and Point
