Through the various whispering of Santa’s elves and a few conversations with Santa himself, I have compiled a list of the top naughty and nice Canes.

For some players he will bring gifts, but others will receive nothing but coal. Everyone knows Santa’s Naughty and Nice Lists are always in flux. They never are a done deal until the eve of Christmas. So how are our favorite Hockey players faring on these lists? Through the various whispering of Santa’s elves and a few conversations with the jolly big man himself, I have compiled a list of the top naughty and nice players.

Remember, players on these lists are just the top five. If you feel that I have missed someone, then they might be on those lists, but just not in the top 5. Also remember that there are plenty holiday games to be played between now and Christmas. Some of these players may prove themselves to the fans and Santa in that time. Other players might fall from Santa’s grace and end up on the wrong list! If you feel a player is on the wrong list or should be on a list, comment below. Perhaps I can convince Santa to make a switch.

Here’s the naughty and nice lists for the Carolina Hurricanes after 23 games in 2017-18.
