    Default Forward Ranking?

    Points-only keeper with no positional requirements...
    How would you rank these forwards long-term?

    Benn
    Malkin
    Tarasenko
    Draisaitl

    Thanks!

    75 Benn
    74 Tarasenko
    73 Draisaitl
    65 Malkin (in 65gp)

    Malkin will still be a point-per-game guy when playing, but I really think the wheels keep coming off that big frame.
    The others are near equal but my tie goes to Benn because he has best forward support.
    Tarasenko is probably best talent of the bunch, but the Blues - I just don't like the complimenting forward cast. I think Steen is probably going to be his best C1 support. Not big on Statsny or B.Schenn as "fits" for an 80pt Tank.
    Draisaitl should be anchoring C2 going forward... big PP1 points... but the top winger is still going to go to McDavid. Ultimately, I think ES-TOI keeps Draisaitl below the line 1 guys.

    Looks about right to me. Maybe with Drais closer to 70.

    Long term I think Draisaitl is a bit above Tarasenko, who's more proven but less and less likely with each passing season to see a jump. Draisaitl, on the other hand, should be an 80 point guy most years. Malkin is solid, but will miss games and could start to slow. I worry about Benn already being in the midst of a decline brought upon by his style of play.

    Based on talent, team depth, and injury history I'd go
    Draisaitl
    Benn
    Tarasenko
    Malkin

    But they are all quite close and will all be excellent

    I don't know what you consider "long term" but for me, I'd go:

    Malkin
    Benn
    Tarasenko
    Draisaitl

    Malkin at the bottom of everyone elses lists? Da fark?
