Where does San Jose’s D rank with Karlsson?

[olli]

imo they have the 2nd best d now that they have Karlsson.

Edit: forgot they had Justin Braun. They probably have the best d in the league and the best RD depth ainec.

Has to be #1. They have the two best offensive Dmen in the league, the best defensive Dman in the league who also happens to be pretty good offensively and another very good shutdown guy. Sorry Nashville, you've been dethroned.

1. Nash
2. SJ
3. TB

We've lapped the competition now. Well not quite, but clearly better. Best top 4 in the league by a slim margin over NSH and TB, and we've got better depth. Three legit #1D is absurd to think about, including two arguable top 5 d-men in the league. And having Ryan, Braun, Dillon, and Heed as simply depth after them is just gravy.

So happy to have overtaken Nashville (obviously imo). I love their team and their #1D is my favourite player in the world, bar none, so I'm slightly jealous. Or was. Now I won't complain.

I would still take Nashville because Sanjose had yet to play a game. We don't know what Karlsson is right now. He may or may not fit with the team.

No offence to the sharks, I just need to see them perform before I'd vote best d in the league. On paper means nothing.

That injury might be more severe than he is letting on.

Have them behind Nashville still but it's definitely close.

#1. Let's see how they mesh but I honestly don't see how you can argue Nashville (#2) is better. On paper.

Whoa now.

 

[CanadienShark]

Whoa now.

Karlsson certainly is. Burns is debatable.

Karlsson
Burns
Subban
Josi
Vlasic
Ekholm
Ellis
Braun

There's just no way you can think Nashville is better, they just added the best defenseman in the NHL to the 2nd best offensive Dman in the NHL.
