Best Defense Core Possible

[McDNicks17]

Meant non-ELC two-ways, thought that would be obvious enough.

I don't think there's a single player on a non-ELC two-way contract that would even come close to making these lineups.

Yeah but i wouldn't put it past people to try and stack their top 6 as well as they could and then just throw in a Jamie McBain or whoever as the 7th.

I feel like he's looked a little shaky in the games i've seen him play but i suppose he was taking pretty tough assignments.

He's found his form again. Looked garbage against Calgary and Edmonton (first time) though.

Well in that case he's a perfect third pairing D-Man on a stacked core, that's all you need on that role.

Boychuk is the only right shot on here.

Oh my mistake, thought they were left. Sorry to the original guy

 

[Islander Prophet]

almost all the Islanders defense excluding Visnovsky are severely better than their contract value IMO

Ekman-Larsson ($5.5M) - Boychuk ($3.36M)
