No argument here, he probably should have been included.

You can move Rielly down the list, I'd say everyone up until Pionk (without really knowing how his year is going) can be put ahead of Rielly.

Hedman is definitely leading the pack, he's a beast.

Fair enough! The only one I can truly speak to 100% on this list is Pionk...guys been a beast for us this season. Comparable stats-wise to Rielly though.

Faulk should be here. Makar's too low, he's been the best D so far.

Hughes is great offensively obviously but he is awful when it comes to the defensive side so I'd say he should be down a bit but otherwise its pretty good

I was looking at a combination of both...I agree that Hughes' offense definitely outweighs his defensive game (hence the -13) but still had to give him a bit of credit for being the leading scorer among defenceman. No argument moving him down though!

That would be the American spelling...I'm Canadian so it's defenceman smile

No argument against Faulk being on this list and I agree with Makar, this list could have a lot of leapfrogging.

Agree 100%! Had to give him some credit from the offensive side of things but yeah that -13 isn't looking great!!

I went with the one NHL uses but it was more about the missing "n" since you wrote "Defeceman"

He hasn’t been a top 15 defenseman. His defense hasn’t been that great.

I know i sound biased, But TJ Brodie has been a beast this year for toronto. When a defenseman in Toronto isnt noticed, that means hes doing well.

I dont know if barrie or hughes should be on here, their defensive play is fairly bad.

also, should doughty even be on this list, let alone top five? Rielly should be lower....
