He should be, he's the leading EV scorer in the league (among defensemen) and is second in goal differential this year. Most of the guys above make their living on the powerplay and they won't all be on the powerplay on this team. So this isn't the best team "right now".

I feel like Barrie should be here too. I 100% agree that Nurse should. He’s having his best year in my opinion. If you look, some of those guys get almost as much points, as Tyson Barrie 5v5 and some get even less points this year. So Barrie should definitely be here, plus he hasn’t been the worst defensively too!
