No idea...yet. I won't do mine until the end of the season. There are some discrepancies on how these guys should be ranked. For example, JayC likes to rank them by their body of work over the last few years. Me? I like to rank these guys for their record for the current season, throwing out what they've done in the past.

That being said, Brash and BGL haven't done much thusfar and Orr, Godard and Belak have looked decent, so I'll just to see how it plays out...

[Rob666]

01.) Donald Brashear
02.) Colton Orr
03.) Eric Godard
04.) Derek Boogaard
05.) Wade Belak
06.) Jody Shelley
07.) George Parros
08.) Shawn Thornton
09.) Mike Rupp
10.) Cam Janssen (doesn't really belong but who else fits?)

__________________________________________________ __
Could be, should be guys:
Georges Laraque- If he was healthy could be #1.
D.J. King- If he was healthy could be top-5.
Raitis Ivanans- Needs to fight more.
Andrew Peters- Stop being afraid to get hit.
*Kevin Westgarth- If he plays and fights he will easily be top-10.
*Steve MacIntyre- See above.

Brash and BGL are the best, actually and for the last few Years!
Brash is in this Year better than BGL, but Guys like Orr, Belak or maybe Godard are also great.Good Year for the three Guys.

to Brash and BGL:
Brash has in his Career more win´s than BGL, but Brash has a little bit more losses, but i think the more Fights (+ more won Fights) are the Point, to get Brash the All-Time Champ for the couples of Year vs. the Matchup Brash vs. BGL.

Actually, Janssen has been having a really good year. I think a lot of people are over-looking him when it comes to these lists. Most people aren't even considering him to be in the mix. He beat Roy twice, did fine with Peters and Belak and crushed Brad May. Compared to what other people are doing, I think he's got a case to be in there as much as anyone else after the top 7/8.

Isn't he in the minors?....plus I think Parros or Cote are much better then him...

he is in the minors and fritz, more often then not, would beat cote and parros pretty good, although cote had a good showing against him earlier this year

I'm not quite sure how you have Godard at 7, he's having a great season. I'd switch Belak and Orr, And Godard with boogy. Then its pretty good.

Orr has the answer for a couple of heavies
Chara if he did it more, top 3
Godard - "GOD"-still up and coming
Belak - steady as always, needs to avoid Boogard
Shelley
Cote for guts and entertainment quality

Huh?

Belak is underrated IMHO. He deserves to be in the top 5 at least.
Based on the last season until now:
1. Brashear
2. BGL (hasn't done much this year due to injuries)
3. Belak
4. Orr
5. Godard
6. Boogaard
7. Shelley
8. Parros
9. Ivanans
10. S. Thornton

Wasn't too sure who to put in the 9 and 10 spots.

All of these guys are good selections. And though I like Godard, I'm not sure that he warrants a rating higher than 7 or so. Orr, who I can't tolerate as I allow personalities to influence me-I know, I know, I shouldn't- has beaten him twice this year, and Shelley also beat him. As Boogaard said following his last meeting with Shelley, any of the top guys can knock out another at any given time. Now, he keeps whipping my guy (Shelley) so I sure wish his statement would come true at our next meeting! lol
