That's 17-21 guys for me before Johnny enters the chat. But I'd still have to think long and hard about if he's the next winger I'd choose (Kaprizov/Ovechkin/P Kane/[Johnny]/Panarin/Rantanen/Huberdeau). But there might be a few other guys I'd have to plug my nose and think about like Alan Fox and maybe some goalies depending on the scenario.
Obviously I value C's who are strong in all areas. My biggest gripe with Johnny is that I don't think he's shown the ability to 'take over' a game in the playoffs like most (but not all) of the guys on this list - especially Kane/Stone/Kucherov as wingers.

Some of the names on here are hilarious.
Yeah, Zibenajad is better than Gaudreau for sure.
