See ledge_and_dairy comment. Hedman is clearly the 2nd best dman in the league, but Makar is generational. No knock on him.
i wouldn't even say he is number 2 anymore.
mcavoy and fox have both been then best 2way dominant dmen for the last 2 years now, hedman is starting to rely on PP now a little bit.
this season hedman was in the bottom 25% 5v5 defensively and he faced the bottom 46% quality of competition. yes he is still a good dman but even his 5v5 offence was in the bottom 48%. the only standout analytics he had were his finishing, G/60 and PP
i think he is becoming slightly overrated due to his name now, i actually have him as my number 5 dman and i think after this season their is a high chance, heiskanen/ slavin/ seider/ ekblad could rise above him
he is a tier 2 caliber dman with fox/hedman and josi
Quoting: cMac73
How the heck do you have Heiskanen and Slavin ahead of McAvoy? McAvoy is a better version of both of them.
I think numbers 4/5-8 are interchangeable and personal preference. McAvoy is amazing, and him being from Long Island gets extra brownie points for me. I think him being at 7 is more of a testament to how good some of the dmen in the league are now rather than a knock on hkm

I mean he has been a Norris finalist 7 years in a row and won it twice. Are other guys closing the gap absolutely. But if you a dman for one season or one playoff run right now it’d be hard to argue against him. Entirely my own opinion but I think there is a clear cut 1 Makar, right and I mean right behind him in no particular order is Hedman McAvoy and Fox if you wanted to put McAvoy and Fox ahead of him I wouldn’t argue that but those 4 imo are clearly the 4 best dmen in the league.

What are you basing these percentiles on? That doesn't seem accurate at all to me
Are you using outdated data? I don't pay for JFresh cards but you can get the raw data from here: TopDownHockey
Depending on what minimum TOI cutoffs you use, in the 2021-2022 season among D men he's approx in the 98th percentile in EV offense, 67th percentile in EV defense, 94th percentile in shooting, 63rd percentile in penalties, 86th percentile in PP, and 95th percentile in PK
Maybe you are using a 3 year weighted average? He had a down year in 20-21 but he's back to his elite self now
