Rate the defensemen on your team!

[HydroF]

Marc-Edouard Vlasic - #1
Brent Burns - #1
Justin Braun - #2
Paul Martin - #4
David Schlemko - #5
Brenden Dillon - #6

I agree with this

 

[Soundgarden]

Bitetto is a number 6, and Josi is only an offensive 1, not a complete 1.

Lol, if Josi is only have a no.1 than what does that make Subban? Josi is most definitely a no.1.

I liked what I've seen from Bitetto last year, certainly a lot better than Jackman and Carle, I think being an average to below average 5 isn't out of the question.

 

[Mike Hasselhoffman]

Weber #1
Petry #2
Markov #4
Beaulieu #4 (with #3 potential)
Emelin #5
Pateryn #5
Sergachev #6 (with #1 potential)
Redmond #7

They all suck.

[HarrisonFord]

Rielly - #2 right now, #1 upside
Gardiner - #3 right now, #3 upside
Zaitsev - #4 right now, #2 upside
Carrick - #5 right now, #4 upside
Marincin - #4 right now, #4 upside
Polak - #6 right now, #6 upside
Hunwick - #7 right now, #7 upside
Corrado - #6 right now, #5 upside

 

[triggrman]

Bitetto is a number 6, and Josi is only an offensive 1, not a complete 1.

If we're just using corsi then Ekholm is a number 2 easily as well as Ellis.

 

[seafoam]

Leddy - #2
Hamonic - #2
Boychuk - #4
de Haan - #4
Hickey - #5
Seidenberg - #5

 

[DeltaSwede]

Tanev - 2
Edler - 3
Hutton - 4
Gudbranson - 4
Sbisa - 5/6
Larsen - 6/7
Tryamkin - 7
Biega - 7

Still very very early in the season but the defense is looking great. Everyone has been playing well so far but oddly enough, Sbisa is the one that stands out for me. Early on he's looked very solid.

 

[RMimagery]

Leddy - #2
Hamonic - #2
Boychuk - #4
de Haan - #4
Hickey - #5
Seidenberg - #5

Most accurate for the Isle's but I'd say that since Leddy is a top 30 D and trending up, he's a 1/2.

And Boychuk was playing very well last year until he got nailed twice with slap shots to his skates/feet towards the end of the season yet played through it. He was hurt. He's a 3 to me unless this season shows otherwise.

 

[Benjamin]

:

Karlsson #1
Methot #3
Phaneuf #3
Ceci #4
Wideman #6
Boro #8

I suspect a month from now Id be comfortable calling Wideman a #5.

 

[Cubs2024WSChamps]

How are you expecting them to be top 5 or top 1 in goals against based on 2 out of 18-23 players being defensively great? (Hamilton is an offensive defenseman). Hockey is a team sport

Two number one defenseman and a 2/3 tweener means that defense has extreme stability no matter who's out there.

Leading the league in goals given up means it's obvious the Flames don't have two number one defenseman.

I completely disagree.

Hockey is a team game. And you need a goalie who can stop pucks. Even systems can affect a team negatively.

Example penguins.

Sullivan comes in everyone does better. Except fleury and Malkin imo stayed the same

[Here I Pageau Again]

:

Karlsson #1
Methot #3
Phaneuf #3
Ceci #4
Wideman #6
Boro #8

I'd agree with this. Although Methot is playing like a #2 this season so far.

 

[ProspectsSTC]

Weber #1
Beaulieu #3
Petry #3
Markov #4
Emelin #5
Pateryn #6
Sergachev, Redmond #6/7

Sergachev will obviously get better, should be a 3/4 next season

 

[Nordic*]

I'd agree with this. Although Methot is playing like a #2 this season so far.

Easy to look good playing alongside Karlsson, who seems to be in God-mode.

[member 151739]

Duncan Keith: #1
Niklas Hjalmarsson: #2
Brian Campbell: #3
Brent Seabrook: #4
Trevor van Riemsdyk: #7
Michal Rozsival: #7

Too early to tell for Forsling or Kempny.

[Rebels57]

Robidas
Daley
Demers
Russel
Golsagainstski

I'm confused.

Daley is a Penguin.

Russell is an Oiler.

Demers is a Panther.

Goligoski is a Coyote.

Robidas hasn't played in 2 years.

I get that they are all former Stars but what the hell is the point of this otherwise?

 

[THall4]

So far this season:

Larsson #2
Klefbom #2
Sekera #3
Russell #4
Davidson #4
Nurse #5
Gryba #6


We'll see on Fayne tonight.
