Obviously you can tweak rankings depending on how much you value pts vs goals vs durability vs all the other things, but I think these are pretty natural tiers.
* 4 years is a time frame that best flatters the Flames guys, especially considering their bad seasons are inherently weighted lower than their good years based on season length.
You could also say that the most recent year is slightly heavier weighted (without any manipulation) because goal scoring was up by about 5% over the other years
**I know everyone likes to write obituaries for guys at the first sign of injury trouble in their 30s, but these guys belong high on this list until they prove they've lost it.

Dom from the Athletic has Tkachuk as a top 10 player in the league next year based on his analytics in all 3 zones. People forget he’s only 24.
He’s becoming underrated around these parts
