The NHL is a young man's league these days, with plenty of guys who have still yet to hit their prime years dominating statistically. Ranking the best players under the age of 25 is no easy task. There are plenty of potential candidates for the top 10 or so, but these chosen ones stand out for a variety of reasons.
Points, of course, are a consideration. Many of these guys are going at a point-per-game clip on the forward ranks. The defensemen have their share of offensive ability but are also driving possession or facing top lines from the opposition every night and playing important minutes.
