Who's the worst Dman in the league.

[Dustin]

We always have great debate about the best of the best on this site but rarely do we talk about those who the game is just too much for. Who do you nominate for this dubious award. Also a name for this award would be nice. I'm not that comfortable with the worst Dman in history. I know people in Toronto alway use Aki Berg but I am sure there have been worse.

Anyway back to my nomination, this year I put forth Matthew Hunwick. While he played a little over his head last year and it showed he has really put on a clinic of suck this year that can rarely be matched.

Who is your nominee?

Jultz

Hunwick

Carle has been brutal, but I don't know if he is the worst. Luckily there are some pretty good defensemen ahead of him in Nashville.

 

[KaseMeOutside]

this topic is not complete without Casual Kevin Bieksa

 

[Rebels57]

Through 7 games, I feel sorry for any team that has a defensemen playing worse than Andrew MacDonald is in Philly.

 

[Fork]

considering salary and playing time, it is still sbisa

 

[JaegerDice]

Overall, or per dollar?

Per dollar has to be Girardi.

Overall... does Cowen count? He's not currently playing, but he's among the worst I've seen. Least hockey IQ or even basic awareness I've witnessed.

Still don't really have a name for the award yet. Can anyone do better than the Aki Berg award?

 

[tacogeoff]

Mark Stuart based on skill level, salary and usage. Plus he was resigned a few seasons back when he showed all this and no signs of possible improvement.

great guy though.

 

[Nucker101]

Sbisa has to be in the running. Never seen a guy make so many high-risk, low reward plays at this level. The longer he holds onto the puck, the more everyone's heart rate rises until the puck is far away from him.

 

[Sojourn]

According to some, it's Fowler.

 

[y2kcanucks]

Probably Luca Sbisa

 

[SaintMorose]

Grossman

 

[Hisch13r]

Kyle Quincey

 

[OvermanKingGainer]

Darnell Nurse is pretty terrible.

 

[Matthews34]

Matt Hunwick!

 

[Sideshow Raheem]

Luca Sbisa. Jack Johnson and Dan Girardi also in the running.

 

[Russian Factor]

According to some, it's Fowler.

When people say he's overrated, clearly what they mean is that he is Actual Human Garbage

 

[gretskidoo]

According to some, it's Fowler.

According to others, it's Karlsson.

 

[Sojourn]

According to others, it's Karlsson.

Touche.

 

[Beef Invictus]

MacDonald, and Manning are hard to watch even as bottom guys. Streit as been brutal but he's been forced to play over his level.
