Is this really necessary?

A. If people care about the NHL Network list, they can watch or look it up.

B. Nobody cares about your rankings or video game ratings...go join a chat forum or something.

Why do I feel like they're going to put heiskanen on the top 20?

He will be in the top 10 some day but top 20 this year might be exaggerated a bit. Even dahlin that have been awesome last year. There a lot of good defenseman in the league!

Am i the only one that don’t think karlsson and burns is top 5 defenceman?
By definition a defenceman must be a good defender. You like at a guy’s like suter that always play a tons of minutes against top line shutting them down and a guys like erik
Karlson that is electrifying on ice making awesome play but isn’t good in is own zone. Look a bryan dumoulin plays he is worth any penny of is contract by making plays that doesn’t appear on plays of the weak but he must save 2-3 scoring chance by game. I think the nhl should make a trophy like the selke but for
Defenceman the doug harvey award

Dahlin is better in almost every metric and we already know he didn't make the top 20. So to put heiskanen and dahlin out is already wrong

Explain me own a guy that finish -13 could
Be in top 20! Corsi and every bullshat like that isn’t all. I know this is the knew thing but analytics must be taking with a grain of salt. A player like brian dumoulin have a much bigger
Impact then is number suggest. For me defenceman position is the toughest to rate because point isn’t all. If karlsson wasn’t haven 60 plus point season he would even considered top 20. Niklas lindstom, ray bourque, scott nierdemayer those where true defenceman i think dahlin will be as good
As those three but i still have to learn a few more thing.

Heiskanen finished -14 and dahlin was on a non playoff team, scored more points, and is better all around. Also is younger

I don't believe dahlin belongs on the list yet, but neither does heiskanen then.

Dahlin was -14 and that what i try too tell you about analytic. Is biased, when dahlin was with bogosian he was better but the shift with ristolainen was a big part of is minus

And? Jeff skinner finish even, shea weber 15 on non playoff team playing against top line, tyson barrie finish a -3 playing with mackinon line most of the time and on a playof team. Dahlin ad a rough start last year but got a magistral second half defensively. But he still have too learn positioning and decisions making in is own zone.
