Maybe Tanev makes the list 5 years ago. Jared Spurgeon is a far better defender.

Why did players vote price as the leagues top goalie, bc they don’t know any better and just go with low hanging fruit answers. Won a veizna or Norris before I’ll put down your name

My boy Brian Dumolin snubbed. Continues to be the most underrated defensive D by everyone

I mean, its kind of misleading and that's why the players are probably misinterpreting the question....

Is it:

Best defensive dman (Dman who solely plays a defensive game and very little offense) - examples would probably be guys like Tanev and Dumoulin, etc then. Basically anyone who produces on average over 20-30 points a season does not apply here.

or

Best dman at playing defense (The dman that is best at defending - not taking their offensive prowess into consideration) - This one gets tricky because its tough to separate offensive game from a stud dman. Karlsson was at one time the best dman in the league but was he the best in the league at defending? Hell no.
