Chris Nichols from Sportsnet.ca was kind of enough to give us his top 100 players. Former Sioux Jonathan Toews (32) and Zach Parise (86)made the top 100 players. If you look closely at the list you will see other former WCHA players in the top 100 as well.
1. Alexander Ovechkin, Washington: Goal scoring wizard has earned the top slot.
2. Sidney Crosby, Pittsburgh: Art Ross favourite; should be downright dominant.
3. Martin Brodeur, New Jersey: Mr. Consistency always gets it done.
4. Dany Heatley, Ottawa: Hungry to resume his 50 goal ways with outstanding peripherals.
5. Vincent Lecavalier, Tampa Bay: New captain excellent all-around; repaired shoulder ok.
6. Evgeni Malkin, Pittsburgh: Points, PIM and he's 22. Career potential is off the charts.
7. Henrik Zetterberg, Detroit: No Datsyuk? No worries. Hank is bank.
8. Jarome Iginla, Calgary: Average of 96 points in each of the past two years; PIM bonus
9. Evgeni Nabokov, San Jose: Rebooted San Jose team; same rock in net.
10. Joe Thornton, San Jose: Absolutely ridiculous point totals since move to SJ.
11. Nicklas Lidstrom, Detroit: 38 and still going strong; 0.75 career ppg average.
12. Dion Phaneuf, Calgary: Arguably just as valuable as Lidstrom, all categories considered.
13. Henrik Lundqvist, New York Rangers: New-look team still has The King in net.
14. Roberto Luongo, Vancouver: One of a handful of time-tested fantasy studs.
15. Olli Jokinen, Phoenix: Upgraded talent on
32. Jonathan Toews, Chicago: Winnipeg native will shine as the new captain.
86. Zach Parise, New Jersey: 24-year old looks to finally hit/pass 70-point mark.
Since, Gaby wants 9 million dollars a year he should be ranked the 3rd best player in the NHL.
