The Golden Knights are coming off a Stanley Cup Final appearance and boast a few players considered among the elite of the NHL’s elite.
But it’s hard to make a case for any Knights skaters to be within the top 10 at their position except for maybe William Karlsson, who was ranked as the No. 17 center by NHL.com this offseason. Wings like Jonathan Marchessault and Max Pacioretty didn’t crack the top 20 in the website’s rankings, but could make a case for themselves with another strong season and a bounce-back year, respectively.
But who are the top players at each position in the NHL, and does any Knight make the cut (spoiler alert: yes)?
