Pelech is a top 3 shutdown defenseman in the league. He also drives offense at a high level but his teammates can’t finish so he doesn’t put up many points. Pelech was arguably a top 5 defenseman overall in the league last season

Adam Pelech, signed 8x$5.75M by NYI, is one of the league's top shutdown defencemen who is more responsible than anyone else for the Isles' analytical glowup since the 2020 bubble. #Isles pic.twitter.com/ghSDuCqqbA

yeah I agree but I wouldn't argue if someone insisted that he was around 10th best d in the league. He is honestly alone with Weegar and Slavin in terms of best defensive D.

No he’s not… Advanced stats are overrated.. they’re not useless but you can’t say that Pelech is a top dman and then say that Seth Jones is a bad dman… you have to watch the guy play and I’d still take Jones over pelech every day of the week

I’m still taking Slavin and Weegar over Pelech cuz they brings 2-way play Pelech is purely défense I’d say Slavin top 10 Weegar top 20 and Pelech somewhere around top 25

Oh man you’re one of those who overrates Seth Jones 😭 - If you watch Seth Jones play he’s an all tools no toolbox player. He looks good doing certain things but he generates mediocre results for his team

Lmao slavin is not top 10. Pelech was one of the best defenseman at driving offense last season. Saying he’s purely a defensive D is false

He was top 5 last season, but he’s not top 5 overall. He’s in the 15-20 range

Yeah around that would be fair I’d go more in the 20 to 30 but it’s not as bad as saying he’s top 5

Slavin is absolutely a top 10 dman… most underrated defensemen and even players for the last few years

I never said he’s a top 5 D overall, I said Pelech was a top 5 defenseman in the NHL during the 20-21 season, which is true.

Hamilton made him look better than he is. I’d say Slavin is in the 25-30 range.

Slavin is in the top 15 d-men in the league easily

He’s had seasons where he was top 15 in the league, but over the last 3 seasons he’s in the 25-30 range.
