Edited since the link leads to a sideshow:
Not exactly authoritative since I think the methodology is flawed. They have Iginla ranked first and Glencross ranked 5th. Here's the order:
1. Igina
2. Selanne
3. Brendan Morrow
4. Couture
5. Glencross
6. Moulson
7. Claude Giroux
8. Vrbata
9. Ennis
10. Kunitz.
Quote:
To figure out the league’s best bargains in the offensive zone, we gave each NHL player two points per goal scored and one point for each assist over the last three seasons. Then, to keep things manageable and ensure we were only looking at the top scorers, we limited the pool of players to those with at least 150 points. That left 133 players once we excluded Sergei Kostitsyn and Ilya Kovalchuk, who both currently play in the KHL.
We then converted each scorer’s numbers to a point-per-game rate to account for games lost to injuries, and from there it was simply a matter of dividing each player’s 2013 cap hit by his point-per-game rate (again, using double points for goals). The ten players with the lowest cap hit per PPG are the NHL’s best scorers for the money.
