I think he’s 2nd pairing on a lot of teams. I’d be willing to bet it’s about 20 teams.On this team, but 90% of other teams he would be def be a 5/6/7.

He's 3rd in ice time because of his special teams usage though. His even strength usage is mostly sheltered with Borowiecki. He's starting to play more with Chabot, which is a better option than Zaitsev. No competitive team would have Demelo on their PP or heavily used on the PK.Demelo is not a bottom pairing D. He is 3rd in TOI.
people here forget that demelo didn't even get a QO offer from SJ the offseason that we traded for him. he was a throw in to get a contract off the books for SJ. he's improved since his time there but he's nothing more than a third pairing guy on a good team.He's 3rd in ice time because of his special teams usage though.

Demelo is better than maybe 4 of those guys. And most of the guys on that list are orders of magnitude better. He's a 6/7 guy on any average NHL team.

Which ones? I think your severely overrating DeMelo.I have him better than 19
I’m not listing all but Mete, Barrie for starters.Which ones? I think your severely overrating DeMelo.
Demelo is clearly not better than Barrie, who's a legitimate top end PP QB. That's wild. Mete, you could debate but he's progressing nicely. It won't even be close soon.I’m not listing all but Mete, Barrie for starters.
If you put Barrie as the 4 in TO he’s behind Ceci. Besides Barrie might be the biggest train wreck defensively I have seen in over a decade. He is so bad.Demelo is clearly not better than Barrie, who's legitimate top end PP QB. That's wild. Mete, you could debate but he's progressing nicely. It won't even be close soon.
Barrie is clearly not being used properly in Toronto. Valuing DeMelo over him is hilarious
The question was who is a better # 4 D. The answer is Demelo because Barrie is a PP specialist who is a HUGE liability defending zone entries and in-zone. You should watch Barrie play, he has been awful for years.Barrie is clearly not being used properly in Toronto. Valuing DeMelo over him is hilarious

Lmao wtf are you talking about
DeMelo - 3rd in TOI amongst DMen, 3rd in ES TOI, 3rd in PP TOI, 3rd in SH TOI
Tierney - T 6th in pts, T5th ES pts, 4th in TOI amongst FWDs, 5th in ES TOI, 8th in PP TOI, 3rd in SH TOI, 2nd in FOs taken, 1st in FOs won
Why did you make that up just now?
So in your eyes, Borowiecki-Demelo has been the 2nd pair or the top pair for the Sens this year?
Who is the 4th line C out of this group currently: Brown, White, Pageau, Tierney. My hint to you: it's the one that's playing with Bobby "press box" Ryan and Filip "I get benched for scoring goals" Chlapik.
According to Wayne Scanlan. Honestly, I don't know how anyone could watch this team and not conclude that Pageau is the team's best defensive player. That seems painfully obvious.

Might have only been including dmen in that category, in which case, there is an argument to be made that DeMelo has been our best defensive Dmen.According to Wayne Scanlan.
