Zach Parise 89 lol. He's more like a 72 by NHL 94 standards.

I still can't believe that Taylor Hall is a Devil. I gonna have fun this year.

LOL: "Benn’s combination of size and skill is nearly unstoppable, as he is one of the only players in NHL 17 to have 5-star ratings in all rating categories (Puck skills, shooting, skating, senses and physical ability)."

Forgot about defense there eh bud!

Brad Marchand disagrees

The ROY with mad skills and breakaway speed is not in the top 10? I can assure you EA, that
Artemi Panarin (barring injury) will have a far better season than fading stars Sedin and Parise.

Pretty good ranks here....I would drop Gaudreau, Forsberg, and Sedin all 1 OVR. Other than that I think the list is pretty good.

As for Panarin, he may become great if he can repeat what he did last year. He has only played 1 year so far.....I would have him around 85-86 for this season.

Some more odd ratings in my opinion.

Taylor Hall is good, but a 90? Tied for 3rd best LW in the NHL? no way. I'd probably put him down at an 88 or so.

And Parise an 89? I guess if he is 100% healthy. I'd slide him outside top 10.

I would have preferred Marchand in the top 10

EA loves basing their ratings off of what happened 5 years ago
