If Karlsson isn't #1 he's #2 behind Doughty, with Keith #3. Subban's in that next tier.
I'd put Subban and Karlsson in the same tier

That's a pretty misleading headline. They won't make those moves for a rental.
I can't believe some are making a case for Doughty to win the Norris this year. EK65 are miles ahead of him.
Sometimes I wonder if EK would take less beating for his "poor defense" if he didn't put up so many points. If he just scored "Doughty numbers".
Doughty in the middle of the regular season isn't the same as Doughty when the game matters. He may not ever win a Norris trophy, but there isn't another defensemen in the league that I'd want leading my team in the playoffs.
It is like Hasek vs Roy in the 90s and early 2000s. Hasek will pile up the accolades... Roy will win you cups.
Or maybe it's because EK generally isn't that great defensively? I mean he's not Justin Schultz out there but he isn't exactly someone I'd classify as good defensively. I think he's average defensively and it shows, but he makes up for it with the amount of points he puts up.

Pretty much this. I don't think there's a defensemen - or player for that matter - in the entire league who takes his game to the level Doughty takes his during the playoffs. He's a different beast come playoff time.
I disagree.
But yeah I wouldn't put him top 5 defensively, but not "average". Regardless, the end result, is what matters, and his end result is much better than any other d-man in the universe.
I love PK but hes a luxury we cant afford not only in dollars but the potential assets going the other way and hell no to trading Rantanen.
I wouldn't want to move EJ because he loves Denver but if I had to choose between including him or Barrie in a package for Subban, I'd choose EJ. Similarly built defensemen but we'd likely need to add our 2016 1st round pick and probably another piece.
friedman saying Avs would like to et another good defenseman.
"That's what I think Colorado's big move is"
I'm sure they would, but teams don't move these players. We've been hearing this for a few years, every time the Insiders talk about us.friedman saying Avs would like to et another good defenseman.

Avs can add another significant piece if they get rid of their deadweight, don't do anything stupid like resigning Tanguay.
I thought MacKinnon was headed to a PPG season and that would increase his salary when they resigned him next year, but that's not the case, he should only get like 6 or so, same with Barrie. Barrie looked like he was on pace for 60 points and was playing good D but his game has dropped quite a bit. Both MacKinnon and Barrie probably decreased their value quite a bit
Hasek was a beast in the playoffs too, Sabres had no business making the finals in 99...too bad they got cheated out of cup.
While I agree Doughty deserves a norris at some point in his career, it's not like he's Lemiuex in the playoffs.
Weber needs more love...according to some on here he's making Josi a #1Dman. Guy is probably the most underrated player in the NHL.
