CP Top 50 NHL players - Rd 9

[GreenLantern2814]

Drew Doughty defeats Ryan Getzlaf in a tiebreak 58% to 42%. Doughty is named 7th best player in the NHL, Getzlaf 8th.

To this point, the list has been compiled based on the last 50 players to win or be nominated for major awards. These include.

Hart
Art Ross
Norris
Vezina
Calder
Selke
Rocket Richard
Ted Lindsey
Jennings
Conn Smythe

I've since added Tarasenko, Seguin, Nik Backstrom, Zach Parise, Roman Josi and Marian Hossa over less deserving entrants.

1. Sidney Crosby
2. Jonathan Toews
3. Carey Price
4. Alexander Ovechkin
5. John Tavares
6. Steven Stamkos
7. Drew Doughty
8. Ryan Getzlaf


Back to your regular scheduled 41 option mayhem.

Malkin and i'm pretty surprised hes still on the board.

I voted Stephen Stamkos. He's good enough to take two spots in the top ten!

Keith brings a level of play to the post season few in the game can match - the rest of the forwards are fantastic, but Keith is in Niedermayer territory. And I wouldn't take any of the remaining forwards over a 30 year old Scott Niedermayer.

He hasn't been himself the past 2-3 years. He's pretty injury prone, and he's inconsistent when he is healthy.

But when he's on, he's arguably better than Crosby.
