Which superstar Forward would work best as a Defenseman?

[Terry Yake]

Malkin or Benn

 

[bluefan]

Thornton, Getzlaf and Zetterberg would be my top three.

kopitar, last seasons kopitar*

 

[Rangediddy]

There are the obvious answers like Kopitar, Giroux, Toews, Bergeron.

But i'll go with Jamie Benn.

Guys like Giroux, Toews and Bergeron have the defensive mind for sure, but not the size or aggresiveness to battle in the crease. Benn would be able to for sure though, he's who I would lean towards.

If this were last year we'd have like 10 posts saying Erik Karlsson by now haha, but the hype train settled down significantly recently.

I'll echo the obvious choices of Henrik Zetterberg and Pavel Datsyuk.

 

[The Kingslayer]

Nick Holden

 

[Kale Hulls]

Came here expecting Karlsson jokes. Was disappointed.

 

[johan f]

Erik Karlsson?...

Came here expecting Karlsson jokes. Was disappointed.

A few seconds late I was :O)

 

[KrisLetAngry]

Phil Kessel.

I see it now.

 

[VanIslander]

Marleau or Bergeron.

E. Karlsson.

While normally I annoyed when Tavares is not included in Superstar talks, this time. This time it's understandable.

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

Crosby. He's arguably the smartest player in the league and works tirelessly to improve on his weaknesses. It probably wouldnt be too long till he'd be a very good defenseman.

 

[CherryToke]

Seguin

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

Giroux is easy choice.

Zetter is another good one.

 

[hallhopkinseberle]

Hall/Hopkins/Eberle


would have to be better than what they have on defence right now.

 

[Maplebeasts]

Getzlaf. Heavy shot, big and strong so he would be excellent on the boards. Good passer and has the smarts to adapt to a defensive role

 

[InfinityIggy]

Bergeron.
