    Tough call not having Ovie in there, but these are the real faces of the game.

    Isn't this usually done as a competition?

    Yes. Players actually fought with weapons. These four won.

    No Jamie Benn or Patrick Kane (Art Ross winners in 2015 and 2016). No Alex Ovechkin (Rocket Richard winner for the last two years). I know you can't have everybody up there, but I think one of these three should be there to replace McDavid. Don't get me wrong, McDavid has been a big story this year just being in the league, but he hasn't won anything yet, and hasn't even been in the playoffs yet as his team continues to stink.
    I'm wondering how these decisions are/were made? Maybe Dobber would consider a vote from members! And if I missed that vote, then shame on me. LOL!

    I'd say McDavid is there because of the excitement around him, which is a big part of what sells in fantasy. Ovie, Tarasenko, Benn, Seguin Tavares, Malkin or Kane or take your pick could easily be up there, but as far as hype and excitement around the league and fantasy these days, McDavid is the man. Also probably the top dynasty own, so there's that angle too.

    Haha.

    But seriously, previous competitions really engaged these forums, so I wonder why it wasn't done again. It feels like a missed opportunity to me.

    In the next version, I would have Kane, Benn, Tank and one of Seguin/Tavares/Burns or a top goalie. Ovie has already made the last banner so I doubt he is repeated anytime soon. Then again, anything can change from one year to the next, where a player is a superstar 1 day and the next, he's struggling to score at .5ppg...

    I would still like to know the reason. It can really make a difference on these forums.

    Oh I agree and I know but figured I'd keep the subject public in case it came up again, and he noticed this thread.

    I just saw this post

    This year I wanted to pick them, so I said to Glen "please do A, B, C and D" - done. I didn't want one of those players off the banner this year, it's a big year for pushing new traffic and this is the first impression that I want. The competition was great, Gates took the helm on that one. But this year, I wanted it 100% my picks

    I appreciate the kind words everyone!
