Some of these were tough calls, while others were pretty obvious.

Me & THG quoting the late, not-so-great Benning: "*sigh*… I love Quinn Hughes"
I think Marner gets too bad a rap, his contract isn't worth it really, but he works hard, he like Tavares, is a 200 foot player, he backchecks and does try in the playoffs. He does have a greed problem, but I wouldn't put the Leafs struggles on him.
Robertson is great but when he goes cold man does he disappear. Modano is still Mr Stars for me.
I think mitch is the universal pick of all us non-leaf fans lmao
Wait… Robert Thomas takes a lot of heat for cold streaks? Where? From who? I've legit never heard any of that, and besides, the longest he's gone without a point over the last two seasons is four games. So whoever is giving him heat for inconsistency is talking out of their rear.
You are the hardest working dude in hockey and that includes YouTube and Mainstream media. Thank you!
Thanks Yvonne for quietly converting Shannon into a Jets fan <3
I'm happy to see some between 2 stalls love. I'd recommend the Samuelsson episode to anyone interested
Mitch Mariner also my favorite player in the league despite being a Lightning fan.
I think you are getting bad info about Philly and Carter hart! I listen to local radio and podcast and hardly ever hear his name used as the blame. He ain’t GOD…but we all as fans have hope for him. I like him and would love nothing more than him stopping 50….it’s just not sustainable. Hope he stays with us through the rebuild and gets rewarded!
Of this list I have jerseys of Byram, Roy, Thomas, Dunn, konecny, Connor, k. Johnson, couture, Ekholm, josi,
Nice to see that your favorites are not necessarily the so-called super-star on each team.
Matt Roy? I mean, I like him too, but…
Aeeight.
Shannon, as a Coyotes fan you have no idea how happy it made me that Barrett Hayton was the first player you named after Nick Schmaltz. He's my current favorite Coyote and has been since the Garland and Kuemper trades
Jovocop
Shannon grinding 🎉
Lowry WPG?
🤖
Feel bad for Shannon when quinn comes to Newark
Love that stadium series jersey. Rare
We all need to see the episode of Between 2 Staals with THG. Skins is such a beauty.
My list:
Ducks: Frank Vatrano
Coyotes: Clayton Keller
Bruins: David Pastrnak
Sabres: Connor Clifton
Flames: Blake Coleman
Hurricanes: Jaccob Slavin
Blackhawks: Connor Bedard
Avalanche: Cale Makar
Blue Jackets: Sean Kuraly
Stars: Tyler Seguin
Red Wings: Moritz Seider
Oilers: Connor McDavid
Panthers: Aleksander Barkov
Kings: Anze Kopitar
Wild: Kirill Kaprizov
Canadiens: Arber Xhekaj
Predators: Ryan O'Reilly
Devils: Jack Hughes
Islanders: Oliver Wahlstrom
Rangers: Ryan Lindgren
Senators: Tim Stutzle
Flyers: Travis Sanheim
Penguins: Sidney Crosby
Sharks: Oskar Lindblom
Kraken: Matty Beniers
Blues: Kevin Hayes
Lightning: Brayden Point
Maple Leafs: Tyler Bertuzzi
Canucks: Elias Pettersson
Golden Knights: William Karlsson
Capitals: Alex Ovechkin
Jets: Connor Hellebuyck
Okay Shannon as defenseman yes Hughes has talent but the best overall Canuck is Homelander.
He has speed, power, stamina and out of this world ice IQ.
The NHL uses a 3 year models for goalies that's a plus for Minnesota
I love these videos. Love learning about players around the league that I don’t hear a lot about.
No Matthew Tkachuk for Florida? Playing with a broken sternum?
Andrew Copp? AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA
really torn between Austin an Mitch for leafs. rangers has to be Mika. cant decide on jets. josh, mark ,helly and conner.all the jackets are my favorites . great list totally agree with your picks i can root for all those guys . accept after season starts thanks for posting
This list would make for a pretty good team roster!
No Drai for Edmonton? I am deeply disappionted😢😢…but Ekholm is fine too😅😅
Kyrou a leadership role? Hmmm….not sure, from what Blues fans have heard he's an ego-maniac and a locker room cancer.
Great list to show cap space ranking. Thanks so much.
I'm a Ducks fan and I tend to go for goalies as my favs…..BUT for now McTavish is the guy for me for the moment.
5 Swedes, not bad Shannon 🇸🇪 💪, but not a single Finn 🇫🇮 🥲
would be interesting to know your 2nd favorite player from each team 😂
I am glad that Jeff Skinner is finally get utilized properly in Buffalo.
I just hope that Robertson works on skating this off-season. The dude just scored 109 points being a mid-level skater. Imagine if he was a stronger skater with those hands and shot. Holy moly.
As an Avs fan since I was a kid Nathan MacKinnon is my favorite, and he deserves to be named Captain, with Mikko and Makar as Alternates. Landy missing another season. He was also the real MVP on that Stanley Cup run.
Dawson Mercer reminds me John Madden!
Can you do a career video on him pls 🙏
Shannon I’m surprised you don’t like Kopi, he’s a gentleman and such an amazing player and teammate. I feel like he’s deserved of being respected. But I respect you opinions
an 80 point season for mercer should not come unexpected/seen as a challenge… i get what youre getting at but his ceiling is not at all clutch playoff role player; he has top line player talent potential
As an Oilers fan I loved being a Marner-hater, but that stopped two years ago. I love a lot about his talent and intelligence.
Cheering for Bruins is a bridge too far for many. And you’d have to watch on mute to avoid Jack Edwards!
Wow. Just all wrong. I can't believe how wrong your picks of your favorites are. 🙃
