Unbelievable, There’s no way [insert defenseman you have a bias towards] shouldn’t be on here

Top 3 look good, after that it’s a bit of a mess

Ready for some completely rational, level-headed takes

Doughty in the top 50 is laughable, man is a pylon now.

The only thing I’d take offense to with this list is Slavin being way to low.

Rangers fan. I’ll happily take Fox at #2

3 former Ducks on this list… This is fine!

It’s a shame Jared Spurgeon never got the recognition he deserved during his prime years

Imagine paying 9.5 for a defenseman not in the top 20 lmao
ManWithBag15
Morrissey way too high IMO. He had a great season but it’s still just 1 season. This season was the only season he’s ever had votes for the Norris.

Happy to see Miro get the recognition he deserves, he’s so young still but so good in all areas of the game

One of the fewer more egregious takes I saw from THG was not having Devon Toews even in the top 30 defenseman in the entire national hockey league. Glad to see him here
The other 9.5mil defender isn’t on here, so I can relax about our 9.5mil defender not cracking the list either 😌

Omg a list that doesn’t have Mo Seider. I am so affected by someone’s opinion. They are wrong.

Not a horrible list but is Pietrangelo really a top 10 dmen still?
Kestralisk
Good to see toews get the attention he deserves. Also nice to see Hughes still rated highly

Disrespectful to Jacob Slavin having him that low.

How is the guy that won the award for top defenseman down in 8th?
Loose_Device_5302
If Burns wasn’t 130 years old I would rank him higher. No real complaints otherwise.
stakeandlegs
So you don’t have to be good a defense to make the list

Idk I feel like Pietrangelo is too high compared to some below him

If anyone is curious here is 2022 and how much their ranking changed to this season’s. Seems like their top 5 are nailed down and then everything else is mostly a crap shoot year to year for their rankings
1. Makar – no change 2. Hedman -2 3. Josi -2 4. Fox +2 5. McAvoy -1 6. Letang – not ranked 7. Ekblad – not ranked 8. Toews -5 9. Carlson – not ranked 10. Heiskanen +7 11. Seider – not ranked 12. Hughes +2 13. Slavin -1 14. Rielly – not ranked 15. Theodore -5 16. Werenski – not ranked 17. Doughty -1 18. Dahlin +11 19. Pietrangelo +10 20. Burns +4

Fuck yeah! Love seeing Toews up there in the Top 20 Blue Liners in the NHL. I’m not too excited on how much he’s gonna command when his contract is up at the end of the season.
Remoock
I’m actually okay with the top 10 as it is, maybe would have put Slavin up there but overall it’s okay.
10-20 is wild though lol

There is nothing more undervalued in the hockey-world than a good defensive defenceman.

How dare you underrate this player who joined our team less than a month ago. I’m so irrationally emotionally attached.

Ngl not a rangers fan but I think fox should be number one
UsernameChallenged
Ah there he is our top 10 defense man, Kris le…what?
