The title says it all, total Summer topic. One of their staff writers put together a list of the top 20 wingers in the league today. Can't really argue with the top 2. Hall's season certainly warrants a bump but to the #3 OA? Not too sure about that. There are certain dimensions to Marchand's, Laine's, Benn and Wheeler's games in particular which precludes the possibility of Gaudreau being ahead of them but I'd almost certainly see Panarain and Gaudreau being interchangeable.
Would you place him higher? Will we see a drop in play from some of the older players ahead of him? Will he benefit from the addition of Neal/Lindholm?
1. Kucherov
2. Ovechkin
3. Hall
4. Kane
5. Marchand
6. Laine
7. Giroux
8. Benn
9. Wheeler
10. Panarin
11. Tarasenko
12. Gaudreau
et al.
