EA Sports has decided to spur on some controversy today by releasing stats for the top 50 rated players in NHL 20 before the game is released. Much like NFL and NBA games, we're sure this list will in no way cause controversy or start another brawl in a Montréal. Sitting at the top of the list is Edmonton Oilers' Connor McDavid with a 94 overall, with Sidney Crosby (93) and reigning Hart Trophy winner Nikita Kucherov (92) rounding out the top three. Electronic Arts provided a list of notable scores below, but you can check out the whole list here.
