Jared Sourgeon is a Minisota Wild defence powerhouse. This cat can throw the body and play the puck like it’s nobodies business. Look for him to be an instrumental part of the back line for the Wild in the playoffs.

Nicklas Backstrom 8%

Backstrom is the all time assist leader for the Washington Capitals. If assists were just as important as goals we wouldn’t of had to google that.

Aleksander Barkov 26%

The Finish beast in Florida. This guy has hands like most of his Finlander predecessors. Barkov is the lone Panther on the ice that makes us want more. Sometimes he does things that are just like making magic. If Florida could ever get it together this guy would lead the playoff charge.
