Kind of disagree with the wording since Chiarelli has talked about 4-9 being solid, Burke has talked about a big ledge after 8 for the Flames, Treliving has referenced a small ledge after 6 and after 7. So I think talking about a big 5 is a touch misleading. These consensus lists are causing people on HF to think there's a ledge after 5 but nothing we've heard from scouts or GMs agrees with that.

All that said I know what you're getting at, it's easy to guess 5 names of our top 6, top 8.

I personally would guess it's Chychrun. I think he has all the tools. I think his mediocre end to the year won't erase the rest of the the last two years where for most if not all of it he was considered the top dman.

Tough call though, I think it could easily be Juolevi, Brown or Sergachev instead.
