I’d rank/tier these:
(Most consistent of the bunch)
Malkin
Wheeler
Hall - coming off a disappointing season with lots to prove and better surroundings.
(Similar production)
Giroux
ROR
Kuz
Patches
(Arizona)
Keller
Looking for ranking and comments for these top 8 free agents in the 7+ million cap hit bracket. Or give me your top 3-5 from the list.
For reference, examples of top players in this range include the best players in the league, like McDavid (12.5) or Matthews (11.634).
Low end in the range could be anyone who signs for tons and then underperforms, like Duchene (8). My league is pretty shallow (only 200 players drafted) so someone like him will never be drafted.
Available free agents in my league will land somewhere in the middle. They are:
ROR (7.5)
Pacioretty (7)
Wheeler (8.25)
Hall (8)
Malkin (9.5)
Keller (7.15)
Giroux (8.275)
Kuznetsov (7.8)
Thanks.

^I would bump Patches up with Wheeler and Hall, but otherwise I like that set of tiers.

If it's a one-year thing, my top pick here is Wheeler.
If you want to look more for a 2-3 year window, it's probably Hall.
