Check mate, Gaudreau is a top 5 LW.

The list was based on a combination of offense and defense. For offense, I used point production over the last 3 years. For defense, I thought it was important for a player to be able to push people out of the way, therefore I used height as a criteria.
The point was in response to CorsiHockeyLeague's assertion that stats like these are not opinion. They are. They are based on many assumptions and opinions that can easily make them biased or near useless, like my list -despite it being formed by only data. Pavelski, a player on a team I don't like, representing a national team of a rival, there's no bias there. But, weighted or not, over the last three years he's been a top 20 complete center, a list without him, in my opinion, is invalid. His omission should be used as reason to relook at the data, not argue that Pavelski wasn't a top 20 center (or right winger if that's what he put him as).
