Oilers: Oscar Klefbom (for now i guess) once Petry was traded.

This year.

 

[gdsmack267]

Pens: Letang 3-4 years

 

[CraigsList]

Giordano.

Has been since Bouwmeester was traded. So 2 years now.

 

[Cousin Eddie]

Erik Johnson - 4 years

 

[A91]

Oilers: Oscar Klefbom (for now i guess) once Petry was traded.

This year.

Yep, and Klefbom isn't there by default , he has been stellar. Very close to Petry towards the end imo.

 

[Jeti]

Pretty tough call for the Jets. I'll say Trouba, as of a few weeks ago. It varies though. Buff had a run for a couple months this season where he was truly elite. Trouba was the best in the playoffs though, especially before he was playing with a broken hand.

 

[Man Rocket]

Chara - since 2006, who knows next year maybe Dougie steps up

 

[Leaf Lander]

Rielly leafs first year imo

 

[Nordique]

Jack Johnson - CBJ - 3 years

 

[Noodletoro]

Klingberg

 

[Commander Clueless]

Rielly leafs first year imo

Rielly looks good and had a great finish, but overall Phaneuf is still winning this until traded IMO.

 

[LV*]

Phaneuf - 5 years

 

[TheOllieC]

Justin Faulk, 2-ish years.

 

[Aceboogie]

Klefbom- 1 year

 

[WhatWhat]

Klingberg - 1 year

 

[SLAPSHOT723]

IMO it's Nick Leddy, and he just finished his first season with the Islanders.

 

[edguy]

Karlsson probably 4-5 years now

 

[Jawafa]

For the Jets it would be Myers since his arrival. He has played the most minutes on the top pairing. Trouba performed better in playoffs, and before his injury/suspension Byfuglien played incredible, but thats just it with buff, he is very inconsistent and ended the season terribly

Next year id expect Myers to continue as the number one in match ups and minutes but could get out performed at times by buff and trouba

 

[1865]

If I were able to skate and made my way to Philly it'd probably be me.

It's Streit for now though, and has been for 2 whole months.

 

[Vesa Awesaka]

Ottawa

Wiercoich 2 years. Advanced stats>Eye test

Karlsson is a good number 2 though

 

[mattcookefan]

karlsson is too soft. hed be a #3 at best on a good team

 

[Charlie Conway]

For the Rangers, I'd say McDonagh for the last 2 or 3 years, but Klein, Girardi, Staal, and even Yandle and Boyle have all had games where they shined.

 

[Siludin]

Really hard to say for the Canucks.

I'd say Tanev, and ~1-2 years

Get outta here. Norris Trophy winner? Overrated, would be a #3 on a contender like Chicago? Not a chance.
