If I want to know who was in the top 10 for scoring last year, I can look at the scoring list for last year. If I want to know who the top 20 wingers in the NHL are, I might want to expand my analysis just a tad. There isn't a fan, scout, analyst, GM, coach, or anything else around hockey (outside of Edmonton) who would include RNH in their list of the 20 best wingers in the NHL. Except, apparently, the dude that slapped this list together.
I get that RNH is E=NG. But you simply don't leave off a guy who had 100+ points off any kind of "best of" list in his position. It annoys me to see him there, but fact is, 100+ points in quite an accomplishment, even if you get layups from McDrai all day.

If it was a Flames' player putting up 100+ points (even in an anomaly season), we'd all be ripping that article for leaving them off. What have you done for me lately always plays a big role in these kinds of lists, not sure why anyone thinks that is anything new.
