[Sabres]

Voted Theodore. Gotta be one of him, Hamilton or Carlson here.

 

[amnesiac]

Slavin

Add Jones!!!.... How do you not have him up there? Seriously

He should be one of the next to go

 

[ottawa]

Petry

 

[ted2019]

Hamilton.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Theodore

 

[majormajor]

Add Seth Jones already. Yeesh.

It's going to be funny if he wins the Norris - he'll look amazing playing in an open system along with Debrincat and Kane - and then you look back at how he's being treated here.

 

[Mike Hasselhoffman]

Should be some combination of Theodore, Slavin, and Hamilton to round out the top 10.

Voted Theodore here.

 

[The Moose is Loose]

John Carlson is being slept on.

Theodore while very good offensively was worse than Hamilton was defensively. Very surprised he’s leading this right now.

 

[BagHead]

John Carlson is being slept on.

Theodore while very good offensively was worse than Hamilton was defensively. Very surprised he’s leading this right now.

Had Carlson selected until I saw Slavin, so he's certainly close in my book. But, I might have picked Jones over both, if he was on there.

 

[wetcoast]

Slavin

Add Jones!!!.... How do you not have him up there? Seriously

Yes absolutely add Jones but I took doughty still a great Dman on a bad team, with a better supporting cast we will see him rebound this year.

 

[domiwroze]

Slavin.

whomever is the goalie get spectacular Defense.

 

[BKarchitect]

Slavin then Theo.

 

[Buck Naked]

Ekblad. Absolutely a better player than Slavin, Carlson, Theodore and some others being mentioned here. Curse of playing in Florida.

 

[Cousin Eddie]

Slavin add Toews

 

[jonlin]

Jeesus... Doesnt anyone watch Floridas games? Ekblad.

 

[Northern Avs Fan]

Went Ekblad, but I’m not really convinced with anyone in this spot.

I feel like there’s about 10 defenceman who are on a very similar level here.

 

[wetcoast]

Went Ekblad, but I’m not really convinced with anyone in this spot.

I feel like there’s about 10 defenceman who are on a very similar level here.

This is my thought as well and I think doughty bounces back a bit as the Kings get better this year.

He has still been quite good just playing for a really crappy team hurts him in these polls.

That and his big mouth.....

I also wonder how far down EK and Burns fall down here man what a cliff.

 

[Eggtimer]

Chychrun is under rated wow. Look at the team around him and what he has done with that. Fox had an amazing season but not 50 games is not enough to warrant that raring IMO.

 

[Eggtimer]

Slavin

Add Jones!!!.... How do you not have him up there? Seriously

He should be one of the next to go

He is very over rated . As much as Chychrun is under rated

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Slavin
Then Ekblad, Hamilton, Theodore
But all are close here.

 

[thestonedkoala]

How the heck is Brodin nor Spurgeon on this list?

 

[Eggtimer]

How the heck is Brodin nor Spurgeon on this list?

Easy , they aren’t good enough

 

[thestonedkoala]

Easy , they aren’t good enough

Both of them are extremely underrated, because they play on the Wild and both aren't considered 'offensive' defensemen.

Most experts consider them elite defensemen.
