No.....Subban is close. I don't think you can question that.
Nashville is one of the weird situations where's it's hard to crown a true top dog.
There are situations where I prefer Josi, and there are situations where I prefer Subban.
And there are definitely situations where I prefer Ekholm.
I definitely like having Josi and Subban separated....except on a rare power play or extra attacker situation. They're not the same guy, but the play the same role.
It will be interesting to see how the dynamic changes now that we've had a half season of Josi-Ekholm once that Ellis returns.
Though I could see an Emelin-Bitetto line laying the absolute wood around.
Sidenote: I think Bitetto has really stepped his game up. I no longer fear the 3rd pair as being weak...
