Quoting: GMs
Dahlin Heiskanen Hugues Makar Fox McAvoy Werenski Ekblad Chabot Provorov ( I just named 10 young dman better than Marino ) and that’s without counting all the best veteran dman in the league like Hedman Josi Slavin etc etc. Marino isn’t a top25 dman, calm down
Only McAvoy, Makar, and Fox are definitely better than Marino.
Provorov is average at 5v5, he gets boosted by his goals/60 and finishing impact. Marino is better than him
Werenski is terrible defensively. Marino is better than him.
Dahlin isn't great defensively either, he has a good PP impact. Marino is better than him.
Ekblad and Hughes are similar to Werenski in that they're not amazing defensively and get boosted by their offensive output
Chabot is terrible defensively, but he's very good offensively, he's the opposite of Marino
Marino had some of the best defensive impacts of all defensemen in the league in 19/20. You're grossly underrating him.
