You Vote: Best NHL Forward

I already figured out who the best backup goaltender in the NHL is, however, that was me making all of the decisions. That article didn't get a whole lot of reads, but it did get the most reads out of any of my articles in probably the last month.

Now, I thought that a "you vote" series really might help me. I will begin by finding out who you think the best NHL forward is, by taking one forward from every team in the NHL. I will then allow you to decide who should move on. In about two days, I will write a follow up article, to announce the top five. I will then give you another two days to vote. It is then that the third and final article will be written, announcing the winner.

I will begin with the best forward, then the best defenceman, and finally, the best starting goalie.
