Why don't you give us a list of your top 30 C's in the league?

I'll save you some trouble and you can fix mine as you see fit (haven't really drilled down rankings too specifically within each tier, especially the last one).

Crosby
MacKinnon

Bergeron
McDavid
Barkov
Kopitar
Point
Malkin

Scheifele
Matthews
ROR
Aho
Couturier
Backstrom
Draisaitl
Eichel

16^

Barzal
Tavares
Toews*
Zibanejad
Pettersson
Seguin
Couture
Larkin

Schenn
Lindholm
Horvat

Kuznetsov
etc etc etc

How far into this group are you prepared to drop Eichel?

All of the bolded missed the playoffs. Of course, the EDM and STL guys didn't win any games, and the Caps only won one this year.
