It’s who they think is the best right now. It’s not perfect but it’s better than most lists and appreciate them actually acknowledging that young players can be good and guys like Doughty have slowed down.6th best defenseman in the league and missed a bunch of games during a shortened season.
Since they have Dougie Hamilton (who missed most of the season) it seems like it's their list of best dmen in a vacuum and not those who had the best season?

How come every single Defenseman list that comes out be it Calder, Norris, best Defenseman etc.... always has Makar way ahead of Hughes but Canucks fans always insist that Hughes is the better dman. It’s very clear at this point who the majority of people think the better dman is except a couple of writers for sportsnet and Canucks fans
One thing that’s interesting with these defence rankings that have come out recently is Heiskanen is not on them.
He’s valued a lot more highly on HF than he is by media. Personally, I would have had him above a few of the guys listed.
He isn't as flashy, but he's a good two-way player. His numbers are kind of depressed by the heavily defensive and low-scoring playstyle of the Stars, he certainly is no Makar but he shouldn't be thought of as a purely stay-at-home player either.I just don't think Heiskanen has the offense to compete with Makar/Hughes/Dahlin. He'll probably be the best defender out of the group but I don't think he'll ever be in the conversation points wise.

Provorov is the biggest omission IMO. He’s a top 10 defenseman no doubt. I think Miro is too.One thing that’s interesting with these defence rankings that have come out recently is Heiskanen is not on them.

With all due respect to Dahlin who is incredible, especially at his age. I simply don’t think he’s top 20 yet. He will be. I’d bet my house on it. But he’s a little overrated based on his current abilities.Dahlin isn't there either.
