Top 4 d-men or are we ranking the teams? You asked for top 4 then listed the teams in order of what you thought?

Anyways top 4 I would say:

Keith
Weber
Pietrangelo
Seabrook

Teams:
Chicago
St. Louis
Nashville
Minnesota
Winnipeg
Dallas
Colorado

1- Keith
2- Weber
3- Josi
4- Suter

Undisputed best division in hockey.

 

[AvroArrow]

Keith
Weber
Suter
Shattenkirk/Seabrook

 

[BonMorrison]

For NSH, it should be Ellis/Jones. Ekholm is the indisputable #3.

Ellis was #4 last year and played that way too, it's his position to start the year most likely unless Jones outplays him significantly.

Chicago
Nashville
St. Louis
Minnesota
Winnipeg
Colorado
Dallas

Keith, Weber, Josi, Suter
Pietrangelo, Shattenkirk/Seabrook, Hjalmarsson

The D in division is unfair.

Keoth
Weber
Pietrangelo
Josi
Suter
Shattenkirk
Seabrook
Trouba

As a Minnesota fan, I'd only take Nashville's collection of a top four over what the Wild have.

That said, I think Keith is far and away the best defender in the division. My top four out of the division:
1. Keith
2. Josi
3. Weber
4. Pietrangelo

Nashville
Minnesota
Chicago
St. Louis
Winnipeg
Colorado
Dallas

Keith
Weber
Suter

See Shattenkirk

Don't see Petro

The purpose of the thread is rank the teams, not individuals

 

[SAADfather]

Minnesota and St. Louis could be flip flopped, pending on what they do with Shatty

Chicago
Nashville
Winnipeg
St. Louis
Minnesota
Colorado
Dallas

The purpose of the thread is rank the teams, not individuals

OK Then

1- Hawks (if Oduya resigns)
2- Preds (They could be better than the Hawks; if Jones develops as I expect him to, they will be best by far)
3- Blues (far third from one and two)
4- Jets
5- Wild
6- Aves
7- Stars

 

[Trap Jesus]

1. Chicago
2. St. Louis
3. Nashville
4. Minnesota
5. Winnipeg
6. Colorado
7. Dallas

 

[Stories]

Now I see why we don't have any chance in this division (Avs fan).

 

[CoachBadkitten]

This whole division is stacked.

Hawks
Preds
Blues
Jets
Wild
Avs
Stars

 

[cgf]

Preds
Hawks (#1 w/ Oduya)
Jets
Blues
Wild
Avs (unless Zadorov develops faster than expect)
Stars

 

[TaLoN]

1) Nashville
2) Chicago
3) Minnesota
4) Winnipeg
5) St.Louis
6) Colorado
7) Dallas

 

[Weast]

sigh, we're in for a long season with these D cores to compete with...

The purpose of the thread is [to] rank the teams, not [the] individuals

"Rank the Top 4 Defensemen in the Central"

What?

If that is what you want, then the title should be changed to Rank the Top 4 Defenses in the Central.

 

[TheStroker]

sigh, we're in for a long season with these D cores to compete with...

LOL your post perfectly matches your avatar

 

[the_fan]

Wild's d core is getting overrated here. They have Suter and bunch of average or just a little above average players.

 

[the_fan]

Now I see why we don't have any chance in this division (Avs fan).

Avs won that division with this d core...

Hejda-EJ
Benoit-Barrie
Sarich/Holden-Guenin

I'm not worried. I think next season Avs current d core is gonna be one of the underrated d cores.

 

[Noodletoro]

Daley shouldn't be listed at the top of Dallas' top 4.

Top 4 is as follows

Klingberg
Goligoski
Demers
Daley/Nemeth

 

[the_fan]

How do people rank the Wild d core above the Avs? I mean based on what? If you break it down you got....

Suter is better than all the Avs D-men yes but after that you got...

EJ>>>any wild d-man not named Suter

Barrie is equal or better than any wild d not named Suter

Beauchemin see Barrie

Zadorov is still bit of a question mark but he can be as good or better than any Wild top 4 D not named Suter

Avs bottom pair is little weak, but we're talking top 4 here, and I'll take the Avs top 4 over Wild's

People have the Jets to high.,
