My Top 25 NHL Wingers
16. Ryan Callahan

Callahan is a consummate leader and one of the grittiest players in the league. He would give his left arm to make a play and is one of the top heart and soul players in the league, not to mention one of the more talented.
15. Jordan Eberle
Mar 26, 2013; St. Louis, MO, USA; Edmonton Oilers center

Eberle suffered a bit of a setback in his third season, while Hall blossomed. Eberle has the penchant for making big plays at big moments, and I would expect a big rebound year from him.
14. Evander Kane
Apr 25, 2013; Winnipeg, Manitoba, CAN; Winnipeg Jets forward

Few wingers possess Kane’s speed, power and shot in the same package. More consistency and improvement in his overall game will result in a more polished player.
