Josi out of the top 5 is unacceptable imo. But it does show how truly tight that top 6 is because (imo Carlson ain’t there in my top 10 either) the following 4 are clearly not going be ranked any higher than said top 6.

I would lean to

Makar
Josi
McAvoy
Fox/ Hedman/ Ekblad
Hedman/ Ekblad/ Fox
Ekblad/ Fox/ Hedman

As Josi is just too good to be 6th in my eyes.

Josi's defense is significantly worse than everyone in my top 5. His offense is top tier though so I guess it depends on how you weigh offense vs defense

If this was a tier list id have Makar 1 then Hedman, McAvoy, Fox, Ekblad, Josi all in the next tier, theyre all close enough that any of them could be better than another on any given night

Powers is the Blackhawks beat writer who left Josi off his Norris ballot.

The points went up because he stopped caring about the defensive side of the game. I think he’s pretty accurately marked here.

To the OP: John Carlson doesn’t belong in the top 50, let alone the top 10. Okay that might be hyperbolic, but i don’t think he would even come to mind in a top 30 list.

Dude the guy literally stopped playing defense. Ya, he racked up a ton of points, but how much did that help?

"Literally stopped playing defense". LMAO, listen to yourself. He's one of the very best hockey players at his position. Sorry he doesn't do his job the way you want him to.

He didn’t do his job the way that helps teams win games.

Have you watched a Preds game? They'd look worse than Patrick Kane's hair without him.

Sure would. Just like if they took the 6th best d man in the league out of the lineup.

Only a spot or two ahead of McAvoy? You underestimate Josi considerably.

Well, he would be 2-3 spots behind mcavoy, who actually plays a winning brand of hockey.

I know I'll never forget where I was, when they announced McAvoy won 2nd star of the week, that one time.
