Sharks have the high end, but the depth is very much lacking. They are probably still top 5, but not 2nd. Boston and Tampa are definitely better than Toronto.

After Nashville traded PK, Carolina became the best defense and that was pre Jake Gardiner and more importantly, Pre FREDDY CLAESSON

Josi-Ellis is an elite pairing. IMO, anyone playing with Ekholm would make it elite. Hamhuis-Santini is a pretty good bottom pairing

Carolina have two of the best shutdown guys in the league in Pesce and Slavin, two pretty sick offensive guys in Gardiner and Hamilton and just for the hell of it, a legit top 4 guy as their 5th D in Faulk. Also Freddy Boom Boom. Case closed

No way Florida, but Boston might be better. But top-4 core of Rielly, Muzzin, Barrie and Dermott is one of the best there is.

I think they are both better than Toronto, but it is subjective, as you can tell by all the above comments

I count 1 top pair quality defenseman, 2 top 4 quality, and 1 top 4/6 (hard to tell after just one year) for the Leafs. Pretty much all of the teams listed here have at least 2 top pair quality and even more from there. And if you believe Barrie is top pair quality, you must think Jake Gardiner is too.

How are the Blues not on here? Parayko and Pietrangelo are elite and can eat 80% of games, Dunn is one of the best offensive guys in the league, and they’ve got depth guys like Gunnarsson and Bortuzzo who are actually good stay at home options.
