Best ever defensive defenseman

[Darth Milbury]

This is NOT in any special order and includes only those dmen that
I actually got to watch in their prime:

1) Rod Langway
2) Denis Potvin
3) Larry Robinson
4) Serge Savard
5) Craig Hartsburg (very underrated in his own end)
6) Adam Foote
7) N. Lidstrom
8) C. Pronger
9) Jim Schoenfeld (a stretch, I know, but when he was not on the IR, could dominate in his own end of the ice).
10) Borje Salming

Dave Burrows was kinda underrated.

Dave Burrows was very underrated. One of the best ever at playing great dee.

Judging from second hand accounts Eddie Shore should be amongst the nominees.

Yep.

Right now I'd pick either Lidstrom or Foote and All-Time I'd go with Robinson and Savard.
