Fact is that it's still too early to tell. I think everyone knows this deep down. Hughes has made the biggest impact offensively, but at the same time he also deeply struggles with play in his own end. Smith and Boqvist are both coming into their own and Bouchard has barely made the league yet. Dobson is having a great year too. We can be patient before making proclamations about who is best, because to me it is clear that every defenseman listed has fundamental things to work on (which is completely fair at this stage of their careers).
Yep, it's going to take a long while before we know who is the best of these guys. Hughes obviously established himself first but there are definite concerns about his defensive game. The other guys are just getting their feet wet now and are showing promise. Definitely going to be interesting to see who ends up the best of them. I have no idea right now.
