For our March 19 issue of The Hockey News, we polled five players from each NHL team for who they thought were the top five players in the league today. Players couldn't vote for teammates. After tabulating the votes, we ended up with a ranking of the top 50 players in the NHL.

THN.com will be releasing them gradually, from Feb. 29 until March 15, when the No. 1 player will be announced.

Today, we continue with players No. 45-41.
