Relative to his star status, Brent Burns is pretty crappy IMO.

DeAngelo’s defensive game has markedly improved this season. Quinn has really made him earn his icetime. Kid’s instincts are at such a high level.

Karlsson.

San Jose Sharks.

Even if he have stepped up a bite ... eh, a bit lately.

Erik Gudbranson

 

[Hattrick Kane]

John Merrill is worse than anyone listed in this thread. Well maybe not Sustr.

 

[Zybalto]

Ristolainen, Ceci, Montour, Pouliot

Outside of Risto, the data back up those other three as being near the bottom for good defensive metrics.
