    I predict Crosby will come in at 5. Yzerman was my favorite player but he was always critically underrated. I don't think he cracks top 10. McDavid will be 9 and Ovi 8.

    I think there are 9 writers or so that are ranking their personal top 100 list, which then is inversed for score and calculated with the others' lists. Not all that much science but quite a lot of knowledge still.

    Thornton should not be making this list anymore with some of the names already listed.
    ...but he is. At #32, surrounded by a bit of controversy in the comment section. Quite a lot of points produced over a long career, but I thought he had more than a single Art Ross trophy... One Hart on top though. I can't weigh in too much whether he deserves this place or not.

    Malkin over Forsberg? Some people won't like that but I don't think Geno get's enough credit.

    Ya I had Forsberg higher as I don't dock him for having a shortened career due to injuries... Malkin also has his share of injuries, but still has 300+ games played on Forsberg.

    Beast mode Malkin is an absolute monster though that I would have him even higher if that's what I could get

    Twenty players to go. Most likely these:

    W Gretzky
    M Lemieux
    A Ovechkin
    S Crosby
    C McDavid
    J Jagr
    M Messier
    G Lafleur
    M Dionne
    M Bossy
    S Yzerman
    J Sakic
    P Esposito

    B Orr
    D Potvin
    R Bourque
    P Coffey
    N Lidstrom

    D Hasek
    P Roy

    Any more calls for the order of top 10?

    I only see it ranked to 22 so 21 players to go (though I'm not subscribed so maybe I'm a day behind in which case Brodeur got ranked at 21?)

    Well my list didn't include any goalies as I wasn't sure how I wanted to slot them in with the players... I figure at least one or two should have a spot in the top 10.

    How I think the goalies will be ordered:
    1. Hasek
    2. Roy
    3. Brodeur

    Though my personal list (for goalies) would be pretty different then most. For example Carey Price would be much higher. Basing it more off individual skill then accolades/team success.

    Martin Brodeur is indeed #21.

    I'd prefer Hasek too over Roy, but my gut feeling says they're reversed in this list. Will be interesting to see where they come in.

    Would just point out Gretzky won’t be on the list. They decided he is #1 of the top 100, so they removed him to make it 99, which is also an homage to Gretzky. However lots of people are seemingly going to be mad when they get to #1 and it’s not Gretzky lol.

    My ranking of the final 3 would be

    2) Howe
    3) Orr
    4) Lemieux

    but any order is fine. All incredible.

    This is apparently a lie, I misremembered from when they started the project 3 months ago.

    Oh no Howe for their reasons.

    Silly list.

    I guess it's Gretzky, Orr, Lemieux then.
