And Tavares is ranked pretty high for a guy who isn't better than Hall...

7. Tarasenko
8. Hall
9. Malkin
10. Stamkos
11. Kopitar
12. Tavares
13. Bergeron
14. Pavelski
15. Toews
16. Backstrom
Dark horse to crack that list: Kuznetsov

This list is trash, just ignore it. I'd say Crosby is still ahead by a bit right now, but McDavid will probably pass him next season.

This list. SMH...

Crosby, McDavid and Tarasenko all too low for my tastes. Kucherov probably deserves to be higher, too.

The Flyers did once have Aaron Asham so this argument is clearly invalid

Absolutely....out of everything, that caught my eye.

But

Everyone's list would be different. The only good list, would be your own list.

It's amazing what a good 25 games can do for a prospects overall ranking.
McDavid is going to be great that's for sure but to say right now that he's better than several established nhl players is ridiculous.

What if McDavid goes 15 games without a goal like a lot of sophomores?

What if for a 3rd year in a row he has another major injury?

McDavid has yet to play a full nhl season and because of that cannot be considered one of the top players. He could move up into that and probably has the best chance of doing so of all players but he isn't a top 20 nhl player yet.
