This is a very good list. People say certain players who should make the list, however not all the players they mention should make it

Kopitar is average defensively
Toews did kind of fall off a cliff this year (I could still see an argument for him top 10 based off his 3 year)
Zajac is just not good.

lmfao zero chance. Sid was injured this year but still finished 4th last year in Selke (and should've been nominated). Hes an elite defensive player. Same with Barkov.

Barkov for sure.
Sid's higher I think.
also I assume offence is being taken into consideration bc a player like Teddy Blueger who's basically PIT's #3C by some metrics is a top defensive player in the NHL. He's lacking offensively but his line with Aston-Reese and Tanev was a premiere shutdown line this year...

5th, 4th, 17th (injured season), and 6th in Selke votes over the last 4 seasons. He's up their among the best Defensive forwards

I mean based on pure defence sure, but guys like that play bottom 6 minutes so its a really grey area. Theres guys like Foligno, Nichuskin, etc... who all have great defensive metrics but they're 3rd/4th liners. Its a really grey area to me.

that's fair but some do play 15 min against top lines 5 v 5 and PK so I'd give them the benefit of the doubt in that case...
