When Zetterberg's healthy, he can score 40 goals, plain and simple.

In the past 3 seasons:

75gp 43g (the only time he has scored 40)
77gp 31g
74gp 23g

2 Finns on the list, both goalies, sadly finland can only produce damn good goalies, good defensemen and average forwards...

As soon as I saw Mike Green on the list, I knew it was written by morons.

What is Daniel Sedin doing ranked so high?

And I'd rank Stamkos higher. If he had such a great sophomore year (no sophomore jinx for him), imagine how great he'll be now, especially with a better team around him.

My thoughts

*Toews shouldn't even be in the top 30 yet, let alone top 10. Right now he's a solid two way 65 point guy. In a few years, he will most probably be one of the most complete players in the game, but he isn't as of now.

*Datsyuk. As much as I hate to admit it, based on last season's performance there is no way you can consider him the 4th best skater last year. He has the ability to for certain, and this year may rightfully reclaim that rank, but last year there was a stretch for 10-15 games where he just looked so disinterested. I'd think he shouldve been in the 8-12 spot based on last year, though I can understand why they would put him at 4.

*I question Mike Green, Kesler and Burrows even being ranked as high as they are. They are all great players, but in my opinion products of their system

*Doughty, and to a lesser extent Lidstrom and Pronger all should have been ranked higher. Doughty should have been in the top 6-7 at least, with Lidstrom and Pronger around 10-15 respectfully

*Kopitar should not be in any way ranked ahead of Zetterberg

*Getzlaf being lower then either of the Richards and Hossa is a joke (and I'm a BIG Mike Richards fan)

Notable exceptions imo: Zbynek Michalek (most underated defensemen in the league), Tobias Enstrom (iff****** Dan Boyle makes it in the 30s at this point in his career, he should at least be up there), and Erik Johnson who was better then Tyler Mylers the past season from what I saw.

Maybe Tobi needs to slew foot somebody from behind, conduct a between periods interview and then just smile and say, "That's just me being competitive".

When does the Yearbook hit news stands? I have been looking but can't find it yet. I know subscriptions are out but new stands are what I'm looking for. Anyone?

Sedin has a very similar two-way playing-style to his brother; that's why they work so well together. Now look at his numbers from last year.
