Who does /r/hockey think are the top 10 wingers in the league? (2025 edition)
Thanks to all who responded to my post from yesterday! The defenders post will be up soon.
Here is a reminder of my ranking system: the ranking system is a percentage of the total points you are able to get. I would give the player 10 points for a first place vote, 9 points for a 2nd place vote, and so on. I then tally their points, and divide them by the total number of available points. If we all thought the same, 1st place would be 100%, 2nd would be 90%, and so on.
I've included all players who received enough votes to get above 5%. I usually do those above 1% but the votes are very spread out, with a lot of names, so I'll include those between 1 and 5% as honourable mentions, as I don't believe including them in a numbered ranking provides an accurate, ranked list. I've also included each player's change in ranking from my poll from last year, you can see that here.
