1: Lindholm
2: Ekblad
3: Risto
4: Rielly
5: Jones

Risto had the most points out of all players mentioned with 41. He had the most ice time and was 10th in the league with 25:17. He did not have consistent partner all year and the best player he played with was 100 year josh gorges. This year he will be able to play Kulikov all year and he will get around 50 points and play against the other teams top line.

1. Hampus Lindholm

He's a top five in the whole NHL, so he easily tops this list. No one else his age is even close to him, Ekblad included.


Ekblad isn't even close?? There are more than a handful of scouts & GMs that would thoroughly disagree with you here and would take Ekblad over Lindholm right now.

Where's Olli Maata? I know he was injured and it hurt his mobility big time but he just won a cup and came back pretty quickly from a hit from Orpik that should have ended his season. He's been in the NHL since he earned himself a roster spot right out of training camp 2 years ago when the Pens still had Orpik, Niskanan, Despres, Bortuzzo, and Scuderi along with Letang. I like his future he's going to start next season flying.

No Rasmus Ristoleinen? Hahahahaha. He's better than EVERYONE on that list besides Ekblad.

And you say Lindholm is better than Ekblad? Dude wtf are you on. Do you watch hockey? Or is it because his Corsi was so great? I mean, do you watch these guys even play? There is no way that you have seen both Lindholm and Ekblad play. If you did, you would know how much better Ekblad is, and how much better he is than anyone else on this list.

I don't know where this website find writers, but you may want ti start hiring people who actually know a little bit about hockey. That's just my humble opinion, though.

Hahahahaha, I'm still shaking my head that you have Seth Jones and Morgan Rilley on this list, but not Ristoleinen. Hahahaha.
