8. Klingberg
9. Josi
10. OEL

I feel like theres a bunch of guys that can be moved around a whole bunch from 4 to 20. Ask me tomorrow and OEL, Keith and Weber are all in there. The day after they're out again.

1 - Victor Hedman (Don't even need to explain why lol ... great at everything in hockey)
2 - Drew Doughty (2 cups, a Norris, and he can add a bit of offence ... great defensively though, mainly, does a lot of things really well)
3 - Erik Karlsson (How could i not put him on here? Struggled this year but still one of the very best)
4 - Brent Burns (Does what Karlsson does. Takes the puck out of his zone, into the offensive zone, turning defence into offence)
5 - PK Subban (Good offensive defenseman, but what some people don't notice is how good defensively he is too)
6 - Alex Pietrangelo (Had a great year, has had a few great years in a row ... i have to put him right up here)
7 - Oliver Ekman-Larsson (Underrated because of the team he plays on)
8 - Ryan Suter (There's a reason he plays almost 27 minutes a night)
9 - Roman Josi (Great defensively, but can also add to the offence)
10 - John Klingberg (He had a good enough year for me to say that one year puts him in the top 10)

Why is it that 4 of the five of us have Hedman first, but the one who doesn't have him first also doesn't have him 2nd or 3rd. Instead, the one who doesn't have him first has him fifth.

I haven’t had coffee yet this morning so I probably forgot a couple guys (and no, I didn’t forget Letang or Josi)

I totally forgot about Ellis!

Josi not in the top 20?
Also, Ellis is really good, but i think you're putting him a little too high.

Josi doesn't play defense well, and they're called defensemen. Positioning is meh, his one on one is awful and he pinches way too much. Ellis saves his @$$ all the time. Speaking of Ellis, the guy does it all. Kills penalties, blocks shots, power play, literally anything you can think of, he does well. The only knock on him is his size, but he's still physically engaged.

We're probably better off doing Tiers

Probably forgot some players...

I still wouldn't put Ellis 14th.

Josi is actually very good defensively. Plus, he can add to the offence so i'd put him in the top 10, or at least top 20.

I’ll do a tiers set later on but my top 10 D would go
