Getzlaf, Duchene?

Tomahawk is very much into possession numbers. The Ducks and Avs aren't very good possession teams.

Do you know what trumps possession by a country mile? Goals! Anaheim scored more 5 on 5 goals then any team, and led the League with a 3.22 goals for average. And were also a top 10 team in 5 on 5 goals against and total goals against.

Regardless, Getzlaf doesn't make Tomahawk's list, because he prefers players who score highly on possession stats. And that's his opinion and preference.

So that's that.

After one year, you are comfortable putting Mackinnon that high?

Yeah I agree. Wow.

Kid's a great player as is, but he's in a generational spot at #2 on that list. He needs to play even better and at that better level for at least 2 more seasons to be at #2 for me.

I think Tomahawk can speak for himself. Getzlaff was 2nd only to Sidney Crosby in the entire League at ES points. Which matters far more then a flawed possession number.

Yeah. After some early criticism, Yzerman has REALLY put together a nasty team down there

The emergence of Hedman as a top defenseman really makes that team.
