[dmj616]

Currently, list who you think are the Top 10 NHL defenders in the league. Think of it this way, if you had to arm your team with a d-man for a game tonight...who would be your first 10 choices?

My list:

1)Doughty
2)Pietrangelo
3)Hedman
4)Josi
5)Keith
6)Karlsson
7)Burns
8)Werenksi
9)Parayko
10)Subban

This is a subjective list of who YOU would want, not who may actually be "the best" in the league.

Incoming usual posters....

You're in trouble, bud.

 

[thesensguy]

1) Karlsson
2-10) who cares

 

[DearDiary]

Letang isn't even playing like an NHL defender, no way should he be in anyones top 100 much less top 10

Burns has also been terrible

You're right about Letang, I took him off my list.

As a Flames fan, I can say Brodie shouldn't be anywhere in this conversation. He's been pretty lousy this year. Giordano is likely worthy of an HM, but I wouldn't put him in the top 10.

You have Werenski there but no Seth Jones?

 

[Brian McDavid]

Karlsson/Hedman


Bunch of other guys

 

[Critical13]

1. Jacob Trouba

 

[firstemperor]

1) Hedman
2) Karlsson
3) Doughty
4) Piets
5) OEL
6) Subban
7) Lindholm
8) Josi
9) McDonagh
10) Burns

Subject to change when Karlsson picks up...or until the end of the year once we get a larger sample size on young D like Trouba, Rielly, Slavin, Parayko, Provorov, etc.

Also, a few guys I've put there mainly on pedigree for now...like Lindholm, despite Montour looking better to start the year so far.

 

[CanadienShark]

2. Doughty
3. Hedman
4. Subban
5. Pietrangelo
6. Keith
7. Josi
8. OEL

[Brobust]

1. Doughty
2. Karlsson
3. Pietrangelo
4. Giordano
5. Hedman
6. McDonagh

Not a lot of separation from that point onwards between 7 and 20.

 

[Daximus]

1. Jacob Trouba

Trade him to you for Matthews.

 

[Machinehead]

If you don't have Karlsson at #1, I stopped reading your list.

4. Subban
5. Pietrangelo
6. Keith

Josi is your #7 and gets a HM. Just put him on 6 and we're good.

7. Keith
8. Ekman-Larsson
9. McDonagh

2. Karlsson
3. Hedman/Doughty
4. Klingberg
5. Subban
