This is getting pretty specific but I would probably have all the guys you have listed but in a completely different order also I'm assuming faulk and not Falk? Also keith should be at the top

Has to be considering Falk was taken in the 4th round while Faulk was taken in the 2nd

Wasn't actually sure because worse people than Falk were drafted in the second round and didn't feel like looking up a player like Falk/and some of his order was pretty weird.

Lol at Weber being a tier above a 2 time Norris winner with 3 rings and a Smythe.

 

[IWantSakicAsMyGM]

No Paul Stastny? I'd take him over Cammalleri.

Voynov would likely be the O'Reilly tier had he been able to stay in North America.

 

[Lebowski]

Not sure why Keith would be in a tier of his own.

I think the grouping of Keith/Weber/Subban, in terms of defensemen, is all in the same ballpark. All Norris worthy defensemen in their [ongoing] prime.

As much as I like Bergeron, I think the hype is a bit much. Not entirely sure he belongs in that group. Never valued him as a top 10 player league wide like some did. To me he's a lot like Toews. Great versatile player, elite at what he does, but not in that superstar tier.
