whatever happened to "we don't need to replace mitch, we need to replace the difference between mitch and the average first line forward"?

I'd have McCabe in there ahead of both Rielly and Tanev of course.


In terms of positions...

At C, Matthews is top 5, tied with Barkov and a tier back of McD/Drai/MacK. Tavares just squeezes into the top-30 - technically tied for 27-31 with Bennett, Horvat, Cooley, and Miller.

At W, Kucherov is in his own tier, with Kaprizov and Pastrnak one tier down. M.Tkachuk one tier further down. And then Mitch the Bitch ties with Rantanen one further tier down in the 5/6 slots. Willy ties Panarin and Reinhart in the next tier for the 7-9 slots. Knies gets close to the top-30 - technically tied for #29-32 with Guenther, Konecny, and Marchenko.

At D, Rielly gets booted down to the just outside #1D category - tied for #32-38 with Chabot, Doughty, Edvinsson, Gavrikov, Lindell, McDonagh. Tanev is one tier lower, tied for #39-45 with Anderson, Broberg, Dunn, Karlsson, LaCombe, Samberg.

At G, Stolarz gets into an above average #11-15 slot along with Demko, Dostal, Montembault.

Though I'd guess that there's a whole bunch of guys not on the list with higher net ratings than the bottom 25 or so names here.
 
I feel like Robertson and Jarnkrok are moved in the same deal and Jack Roslovic is signed, and the team is uh, worse?

Has Max Pacioretty signed anywhere?
 
Trying to eyeball a ranking of the team collection of talent on this list.

Mostly a product of number of guys on the list and letter rankings, but with net rating used kinda as a tiebreaker when it's close.
