I’d take Josi over EK65 but rankings seem fair enough. Maybe Sergachev a bit higher.
For top 5 I personally would go
1. Hughes
2. Heiskanen
3. Fox
4. Makar
5. McAvoy

Matheson is definitely higher in the list. Gulhe and Durzi deserve a spot.

Makar at 4 really?? Feel like he should be the unanimous #1, and I’m saying that as a Canucks fan who loves Hughes

I might be a tiny bit biased, but Morrissey should be higher yes?
I mean he is 4th in scoring amongst D-men counting from the beginning of last season up to now.
And he's very good defensively aswell so.
