HockeyBuzz Hotstove: Top-5 wingers in the NHL age 22 and under

Just a note:

When I did this list, I considered Draisaitl a centre.

I consider him a German.

I consider you a novice who's only employed for clicks.

No love for Zadina. This is BS.

Well that`s good enough for me. The Jets don't employ Patrick Laine for his defense.

6 is considered a larger number than 5.

Maybe Detroit will trade him to Toronto

But he wouldn't play, there are like 30 forwards better than him there.

Tanner....there are ways to get clicks other than being so consistently wrong that the masses can’t help but comment to roast you for your stupidity.

He could fuel their Calder Cup teams for the next 8 years.

Nylanders only included because you guys love his hair, what's his #'s away from Matthews.

Thanks for taking my call!!!

Laine
Pastrnak
Rantanen
Boeser
Marner


imo, Nylaner's big standout moments actually came when he was playing C while AM was away.

Agree that Draisaitl seems to be more of a C.

Svechnikov better than all these schlubs.

1 - Laine
2 - Pastrnak
3 - Rantanen
4 - Boeser
5 - Ehlers
6 - Marner
7 - Aho
8 - Nylander
9 - Konecny
10 - DeBrincat

* If considering Draisaitl as a winger than #2 and everyone moves down

How about you give us Evgeny and we forget 2002 happened at all?

Not trying to make an argument for him being in the top 5, but he did very well when Matthews was injured. Played center and won some games.

Sure I will take Bean

You almost have to ignore all statistical evidence to not put him in the top five. Consider that his PP scoring was cut in half, and he still matched his total output from the season before. That's minimum a point per game player, one who is consistently deployed against the best players in the NHL and has success 5v5, has the ability to play centre, and who's defense doesn't really matter since his team always gets more shot attempts, shots, scoring chances and goals while on the ice.

Kadri / Marleau / Leo / Marner would say this is wrong, doesn't mean your wrong in saying he's a good player, a tad overrated by some IMO.
