Hutton, Gudbranson, and Stecher are all pretty close, IMO. All have significant flaws in their games, should realistically be 3rd pair guys, but it's the best we have.

Voted Hutty, but like I said, I could see an argument made for any of those 3 guys.

Disagree about Hutton. I think he is legit #4 at this point.

probably Hutton... realistically nobody should be a 3 on this team

Surprised Edler came 1st. I agree but for years now it's been all Tanev with people acting like we just want to get rid of Edler, can't wait till he's gone, bad contract we're stuck with etc. Happy people may have finally noticed just how bad this team is without him.

Anyway, easily Hutton, legit #4 IMO. He stepped in and played some real heavy minutes when we had serious injuries this year and played fantastic, does look to be slowing down though.

...Canada, eh?
Hutton once again seems like the obvious choice with his play this season... choosing any of the others above him feels like a bit of a head scratcher to me? ...but maybe that is carryover from his prior season struggles?

Based on Cancuks vote + avatar combo, I have no choice but to assume he is actually Jimothy Benning.

A case could be made for Stecher who leads all Dmen with a +9 rating, Hutton -16, both have had terrible partners for most of the season. Hutton is my choice for #3 btw.

Hutton. If he was ever given a proper partner instead of being asked to keep Gudbranson’s head above water he’d actually be appreciated!
Remember it took Hall of Fame levels of talent to make Gudbranson even look like a Top4 defenceman when Soups did it. Since then he hasn’t ever been paired with a guy like that.

Wow!. That's a really tough question. It's probably Hutton. But any d-man not named Edler or Tanev would be a 5-6 on virtually any other team in the league.

My vote goes to Quinn Hughes, who automatically becomes a #3 when he signs, with the possibility of moving higher after only a few games.
