NHL 21 officially comes out tomorrow and we couldn't be more excited to play the newest game in the franchise. Part of the reason we're excited to play is updated rosters and player ratings, and for those wondering who the top-rated players in the game are, we got you covered.
It's no surprise that Connor McDavid is the top-rated player in the game, but what is surprising is that no player is on his level or one rating point away from him. Furthermore, Sidney Crosby and the cover athlete, Alex Ovechkin, are both rated higher than Leon Draisaitl and Nathan MacKinnon.
Roman Josi being nowhere to be found as far as the top defenceman in the game goes is also a shock and always with ratings, there are going to be things we don't agree with. So, which rating is the most out of place in your opinion? Let us know in the comments below!
