The Top 50 Players This Season

Mike Brophy (Sportsnet) ranks who he thinks are the top players as we get close to the 2009-10 season.

4.Roberto Luongo
Armed with a new lifetime contract, captain Luongo will set out to prove he is the NHL’s best stopper and the right man to lead his country to Olympic gold. General manager Mike Gillis has done a nice job surrounding Luongo with talent; now it’s up to him to prove he’s worthy of the big bucks.

13. Daniel Sedin
On a team poised to take the next step, Daniel’s consistency will be a key component in taking the Canucks deep into the playoffs.

27. Nicklas Lidstrom
Age is starting to catch up to Lidstrom, but he remains one of the best scoring threats from the blue line and looks like he could play comfortably for two or three more years.

41. Joe Thornton

You know the deal - great regular season player who disappears in the playoffs. If Thornton manages 200 points this season, it won’t mean squat unless he produces in the spring.

Wow!! And the pressure is just going to get harder and harder.

If you’re going to put both Sedins on the list (and I think they both deserve to be there), why not a) and b) designation, say 22 (a) for Daniel and 22 (b) for Henrik.

The sum of the robots are greater than their individual parts.
