Patrice Bergeron end thread

Bergeron Marchand stone are probably the three that instantly come to mind . Then Kopitar and toews idk can basically go down the selke list

2019-20 NHL Awards Voting | Hockey-Reference.com

Go down to the selke list it will have 99 percent of anyone mentioned here.

 

[Nino Noderreiter]

Joel Eriksson Ek - He matches up with opposing teams top lines night in and night out and I believe over the last 2 seasons that line has graded out as the best defensive line in the league.

 

[Angry Hockey Dad]

Sean Couturier

 

[bossram]

William Nylander. He's a two-way player.

 

[Kcb12345]

Tyler Seguin has taken quite a few steps in this regard over the past few seasons

Hintz is headed this way as well. Neither will ever win a Selke but still solid

Elias Lindholm was the Flames’ MVP this season and is a great 2-way player. He took on the defensive role while playing beside Monahan and Gaudreau, and now that he’s basically a full-time center he’s been fantastic.

Mikael Backlund is still probably their best defensive forward though. He has been for years and years now.
