I realize this question could go many ways, but who do you think the top 15 in point scoring will be in 4 or 5 years from now?
(Not in any particular order)
Crosby
Malkin
Stamkos
Ovechkin
RNH
Giroux
Seguin
Tavares
Eberle
Hall
Backstrom
Benn
Toews
Neal
Yakupov
Mackinnon?
Galchenyuk?
Granlund?
Huberdeau?
I am sure i missed a few potentials?

quite impossible to predict. too far down the road. anything more than year-by-year prediction is incredibly unlikely to be reliable

grammar Nazi
Noun
(slang, idiomatic) 1. A person who habitually corrects or criticizes the language usage of others, especially in situations where it is unnecessary, e.g. an informal conversation.
Notes: This behavior is almost always found in people with very low I.Q's, whom have a very low sense of self worth. Impotence is also commonly linked to Grammar Nazi's.
Top 5
Crosby
Stamkos
Malkin
Giroux
Seguin
After that I think it just gets dicey. Lots of factors come into play but I can see things go as follows:
Ovechkin
Tavares
Backstrom
Kopitar
Benn
I don't personally think Yakupov, Eberle or Hall are in top 10 in scoring. I do believe ALL 3 will be in top 25 scoring however. Lot's of pucks to go around in Edmonton and lots of guys on the score sheet, but I think to some degree they sorta cancel each other out a little bit.
Lets do this ....
Crosby
Stamkos
Tavares
Giroux
RNH
Malkin
Ovechkin
Seguin
Backstrom
Eberle
Hall
Yakupov
Toews
Benn
Neal
Too early to rank in the young guys with the elite, so I'll rank them separately.
Huberdeau
Mackinnon
Galchenyuk
Granlund
Crosby
Stamkos
Malkin
RNH
Tavares
Ovechkin
Giroux
Seguin
Backstrom
Eberle
Toews
Yakupov
Neal
Benn
Huberdeau
I'll give it a go:
1. Crosby
2. Stamkos
3. Malkin
4. Tavares
5. Ovechkin
6. Nugent-Hopkins
7. Giroux
8. Backstrom
9. Hall
10. Toews
11. Seguin
12. Yakupov
13. Benn
14. Eberle
15. Neal
1. MacKinnon
2. Huberdeau
3. Galchenyuk
4. Granlund
The 100+ Club
1. Crosby
2. Tavares
3. Stamkos
...
...
4. Seguin
5. Giroux
6. Eberle
7. RNH
8. Yakupov
*. Malkin (He'll fluctuate between 1-10, every year, based on injuries)
*. Hall (He'll fluctuate between 6-15, most years, based on injuries)
Note: If it's OK with the OP, perhaps we can change this title to something like "Predictions for Top 15 NHL Scorers in 2017-2018". That way, we can search for it and find it. The title is too generic and five years from now we'll never think to look for it.
Example: Here's a prediction thread for 2014-2015 that was made in November, 2011.
