For real though doesn’t Monahan say this every single year at the start of the camp?

I will never not cheer for Monahan. I hope he has a monster year, except when he plays against the Flames.

I copied and pasted everyone's ranking into a text file and sorted out the formatting to make it universal (not too difficult for the most part, but there were a couple that were easier to just copy someone else's ranking and then change the values to match, lol). I kept it at the OG 9 players, as the write-ins were pretty unruly to work with (someone even ranked McDavid in that spot lol).

Then I gave it all to my trusty friend, ChatGPT, to figure out... and this is our conversation:

- Jonathan Huberdeau - 6
- Nazem Kadri - 4
- Jacob Markstrom - 7
- Rasmus Andersson - 8
- Mackenzie Weegar - 7
- Lanny McDonald - 9
- Theo Fleury - 2
- Johnny Gaudreau - 7
- Matthew Tkachuk - 5

(etc etc etc... snipped the rest out...)

Here are the sums for each player:

Jonathan Huberdeau: 271
Nazem Kadri: 226
Jacob Markstrom: 230
Rasmus Andersson: 322
Mackenzie Weegar: 301
Lanny McDonald: 330
Theo Fleury: 119
Johnny Gaudreau: 224
Matthew Tkachuk: 246

Now, to find the average for each player:

Jonathan Huberdeau: 271 / 35 = 7.74
Nazem Kadri: 226 / 35 = 6.46
Jacob Markstrom: 230 / 35 = 6.57
Rasmus Andersson: 322 / 35 = 9.20
Mackenzie Weegar: 301 / 34 = 8.85 (Note: Mackenzie Weegar has one less ranking than others)
Lanny McDonald: 330 / 35 = 9.43
Theo Fleury: 119 / 35 = 3.4
Johnny Gaudreau: 224 / 35 = 6.4
Matthew Tkachuk: 246 / 35 = 7.03
These are the average rankings for each player based on the information provided.

Also, if anyone's curious, GioForPM is the Montreal voter who left Weegar off their ballot lol.

Edit: Looks like Andersson is our collective favourite (edit: current) player so far!

Zero clue how I left Weegar off a cut and paste ballot. He’s an 8 for me.

I do admit to giving Lanny a mediocre grade. I’ve never been a huge fan and some post career stuff rubbed me wrong as well.

Jonathan Huberdeau 5
- Nazem Kadri 5
- Jacob Markstrom 5
- Rasmus Andersson 7
- Mackenzie Weegar 7
- Lanny McDonald 6
- Theo Fleury 9
- Johnny Gaudreau 7
- Matthew Tkachuk 9
-Monny 10
Troy Brouwer 10

I believe that Theo's strange behaviour is directly linked to t e massive abuse he suffered at the hands of Graham James. So, I'm basing my mark on the man he was, instead of the man he seems to be now. But I completely understand those that have marked him way down. Query whether his cohort Jamie Sale suffered abuse in the figure skating world growing up, which may help explain her behaviour these days?

Brouwer gets a 10 because he has been so kind to my son and daughter in law (her favourite player) on two occasions when they have met.

I find a lot of the current Flames very vanilla, but that may be just because that was Sutter's favourite flavour. I expect at least some of those players will become a little more exciting this year, they can hardly be less so.

Yup me too. I realize I am an exception.
