Not a bad list and nice to see Monahan getting some love but there are a few things that stick out:
-I'd still take Crosby over McDavid if only looking at the upcoming season.
-Draisaitl is a winger with one good season. Stupid Oiler hype.
-Stamkos, Towes, and Kopitar look to be on the downside of their careers and should not be as high.
-The list seems to be biased towards putting up points over 2 way play. Bergeron should be top 5 and it would have been nice to see Koivu, Kesler, or Backlund receive recognition. I'd add those three over Draisaitl, Johansen, and Kuznetsov.
Edit: just for fun I'll make my own list
1. Crosby, 2. McDavid, 3. Malkin, 4. Backstrom, 5. Bergeron, 6. Getzlaf, 7. Matthews, 8. Tavares, 9. Seguin, 10. Stamkos, 11. Carter, 12. Scheifele, 13. Kesler, 14. Backlund, 15. Koivu, 16. Monahan, 17. Barkov, 18. Toewes, 19. Eichel, 20. Kopitar
