NHL's Best Defensemen in 6 years?

[Sureves]

I like the Karlsson and Hedman picks.

I think after that my vote would be "a player not currently in the NHL" but I doubt that's what OP is looking for.

I don't see anyone right now with the potential to be better than Karlsson/Hedman, even when they are 32/33.

Who knows really. Karlsson was seen as a modern day Mike Green 6 years ago. D are the 2nd hardest to project IMO. For all we know they aren't even in the NHL yet.

Lol, maybe by you but not most, he won his first Norris 6 years ago, while on ELC

 

[FlyTimmo]

Provorov and Dahlin

Yes, but that doesn't mean he was seen as the best D in hockey like he is now, which is what the thread is about.

Rasmus Dahlin.

You've got a guy like Burns who just won his first Norris trophy at the age of 32.

A lot of guys in their 20s will still be very competitive 6 years from now.

 

[BB88]

Hedman/Karlsson.

Dahlin just to go against wishes.

For all those poo-pooing Slavin, Vlasic was considered a top-10 D-man for a couple of years and he made a Gold medal-winning Olympic Team Canada. Slavin is the next Vlasic. The only question is does he remain as underrated as Vlasic was before the Olympics or does he get the recognition he deserves.

The only people sick of him getting hyped on HF are those that don’t regularly watch him.

No, he'll be 33 until May of that year.

that's how good he is

regular humans age one year every year....karlsson is so good he has like leap aging years
