In what way? He’s been in the top 10 of Norris voting numerous times and he just had possibly his best season

I’d have Heiskanen a little higher. I would put Slavin over Ekblad but that’s just me haha

Dahlin should be an honorable mention rather than top 10. Great player on a bad team but he hasn’t done nearly enough to solidify himself as a top 10 d man in the league

6th in points last year, 7th in Norris voting last year, excellent analytics too ( https://twitter.com/arhockeystats/status/1545097135439454211?s=21&t=kERqo2-NSaORRST1VICgww ). He is a top 10 defensemen in every way and basically any way of quantification supports it.

Okay, I've said this before and I'll say it again and get crucified for it. Josi isn't a top 10 D man. He's SO good offensively, but he's a net neutral player. His defensive stats are GARBAGE. At least Makar's stats are above replacement level (Devon Toews helps that a lot, he deserves HM) but there's no excuse for Josi. Ekholm beside him, Ellis beside him, Fabbro beside him, he's HOT GARBAGE in his own end.

You could argue for him over Hughes but that’s about it.

Completely disagree on Josi but you are right I should have mentioned Toews

Fair enough. A lot of people disagree with me on it, but his defensive numbers, base or advanced, are AWFUL. Remember he plays in front of Juusse Saros too. Not a bad goalie by any means

He’s probably the most underrated defence man in hockey and you really just proved why I say that to people

Sorry but Rasmus Dahlin is hardly a top 10 Defenseman in the league right now.

Honestly if he played for Toronto or Montreal everyone would have him their top 10

Better or on par with everyone in that Taxi Squad except maybe Pietrangelo
