Default ESPN's predicts the top 100 players for this season

What a ridiculous list

Only flames are Chucky #49 and Markstrom #58

Gaudreau or Lindholm didn't even make the snub list

complete idiot list 100

It’s ESPNs first year back. They are still learning.

Oh my, Hyman at #45. L O L

Better the flames stay under the radar for as long as possible anyway, helps keep the chip on the shoulder

These lists don't mean anything at all to players and coaches.

That's crazy. He's still living off his rookie season. Not sure he's even top 50.

How could TJ Oshie be 60th on a list where Gaudreau doesn't make the top 100? Sheer nonsense.

Or to anyone, except marketing people who know that clickbait helps ad revenue.

He is just scorching the NHL at his current 0.5 pts/GP scoring clip. In his last two seasons he has scored 25 pts in 34 games. Pettersson was once compared to Wayne Gretzky.

As I mentioned in another thread, they're polling a bunch of people who, when asked about Calgary, reply: ‘What's a Calgary?’ In this case, U.S. media people.

If Gaudreau isn't in the top 20, that list can eff right off.

Just stick to sports talk shows with people yelling at each other ESPN. that is the only good thing you offer.

If Hyman is 45 then Coleman is 42, Mangiapane is 40, Tkachuk is 37, Lindholm is 26 and Gaudreau is 15.

I read the list twice, I just assumed I had missed Gaudreau on first skimming. Nope. Then I saw the snub list and was hoping he at least made that. Nope.

Yup. League assists leader and 6th place scorer isn't on their top 100 or honorable mentions.

Great list, guys!

Drew Doughty 38th? Cole Caufield ahead of Alex Debrincat? Yep, just another dumb internet hockey list.
