Yes, we know that this is taking a while!
As many of you know, we here at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists out and we always consistently look to update them when we can and based on necessity. As such, we are very happy to present our pre-2021-22 revision of our top 50 Florida Panthers.
As for all of our top 50 players in hockey we look at the following:
1. Advanced Statistics.
2. Traditional statistics and how they finished in the NHL.
3. Playoff accomplishments.
4. Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles not reflected in a stat sheet.
Please note, that this is our first revision in in the last five years, and it has resulted in numerous new entries and elevation of existing players.
As always, we present our top five immediately:
You can find the entire list here.
The top five did change significantly. Barkov, who won the Frank J. Selke Trophy last year and the Lady Byng two years ago, rocketed to #3 after a #32 rank from our inaugural list. Huberdeau, who won the Calder in 2013, and was a Second Team All-Star last year shot up to #4 from #17.
Our highest debut is Keith Yandle at #12, who just signed with Philadelphia. The Defenseman was an All-Star in 2019.
Vincent Trocheck, who is now a Carolina Hurricane, climbed from #47 to #17. He was an All-Star in 2017.
Right Wing, Evgeni Dadonov, who is now with St. Louis, debuts at #22.
Former backup Goalie, James Reimer, who was traded to Carolina in 2019, enters at #23.
Defenseman, MacKenzie Weeger comes in at #32.
Mike Matheson, who also plays at Defense, and is now a Penguin, enters at #33.
Mike Hoffman, a Center who is now with St. Louis, makes his first entrance at #36.
Scott Clemmensen, another Goailie, who we should have looked on our first list is at #45.
The last new entry is Mark Pysyk, a Defenseman now with Dallas is at #46.
