As the NHL season enters its final month, The Hockey Fanatic decided to share our list of who we feel are the top 100 NHL players this season. The methodology for making this list? Well performance obviously, as well as overall importance the the league and to their respective teams. Our list includes players who consistently move us hockey fans out of our seats with exciting plays or big hits or amazing saves. These are the top 100 players that the NHL should be marketing and be promoting in their advertising spots.
