NHL's Best Defensive Defenseman PART 1

[ChiefWiggum]

I think OP meant this poll to be for shutdown ability within the defensive zone.

Correct

 

[Connor]

Since he's on the list I had to vote for him...

Vote: Schultz

... much to my surprise, my vote for Schultz being the best defensive defenceman was not his first vote, haha

So by shutdown dman we're talking about the best at shutting down their own breakout when attempting to get out for their own zone?

Lmao why is Ristolainen on here. That's like putting Amy Schumer on a hottest girls in the world poll

Wasn't this done like a month ago?

Edit: yes it was, but looks like it only got the top 5 done?

Niskanen is better defensively than Carlson. I feel like a broken record at this point, but it's true.

Who cares neither is gonna be voted in any time soon.

Who should I replace him with in the next poll? Coburn was previously mentioned

Adam Larsson. He's the Oiler's best defensive Dman. I'm a huge Klefbom fan, but Larsson is better defensively, and if we're going just by defensive ability then Larsson should be on there ahead of Klefbom.

I tried to have one player for each team (if they were decent, sorry NJD) and I don't watch many Detroit games so I didn't know which player to add, Kronwall or DeKeyser, so I chose both.

McCabe over Ristolainen for Buffalo

McCabe over Ristolainen for Buffalo

McCabe is kinda underrated I think

Lol at Risto, Schultz, Letang....

why wouldnt Letang be on this poll? he should be gone before the 10th one or so. Do you want like 5 players per poll?

Vlasic, Slavin, and Subban are the most rock solid 1 on 1.
