Well those young Dmen only. Not the best, just the best of the young ones
Oh okay good. I was gonna say, you forgot so many good defence man that are better than these ones! I understand now thanks! I think Dahlin is the best out of the young ones (Heiskanen, Makar, Hughes etc.) out of those guys, Chabot number 1.
Theodore
Fox
Hughes
Makar
Chabot
Heiskenen
Werenski
Sergachev
Provorov
Dahlin
Still think dahlin will be the best of the bunch in 2-3 years
Dahlin was solid, on the power play and on either of the 2 super rookies Dahlin woulda done the same or better. He also is second all time in teenage defensive scoring behind the unbreakable record Housley set. He might have been better defensively Heiskanen is the best young Dman of the 4 right now, no contest.
What is the reasoning? Best now going to be the best?
Obvs some players have more experience than others. Like Hughes and Makar only have 1 year so I put them a little lower because they might regress possibly. I think their partners and the team arounds them plays a big factor too. Dahlin has some room to move up too. It’s mostly right now and taking into consideration the past few years

Dahlin was elite on the powerplay , his underlying numbers at even strength took a hit this season, but like I said he’ll eventually be better than all the defenseman on this list

Ahk yep, Right now I agree with the above but the only thing is Provorov is above the 3 above him, he is more set up better defensively, and each of those 3 where very sheltered. Hughes and Makar where expected to score not play defense 60% of the time they where almost playing as 4th forwards alot. Both got what almost 20 PP points on elite pps, and Dahlin is great maybe better but I can't prove anything because he doesn't have stats to back it upm.
Norris is most likely to be who has the better team around him and goaltending and also make the playoffs. Definitely Makar or Heiskanen imo to be the first to a Norris from that group

Yea, our team was bad and he never had a consistent partner which if you 19 in the NHL and you don't have a good partner let alone your partners getting switched alot you get burnt alot. I wish so much we coulda had a Graves or a Edler to skate next to him. My dream player to be next to him is Cernak for next year, I think with that pairing Dahlin could end up with 50 points even strength and 30 PP and I wouldn't even be suprised. Think he was on track for 60 last year.

Yea, that's fair. I could see Heiskanen getting it next year... I think Heiskanen is insane.
