I just don't know if he is there quite yet, but he so close to being top 5, i wouldnt be surprised if he proved me wrong this year

Hedman, Ekblad and Slavin rated too high. Seider shouldn't be on a list at all either.
Toews and McAvoy too low.

Heiskanen, McAvoy, and Josi are better. Hughes is arguably better also

Nope. He likely will be soon enough though. Nice to see Dahlin bounce back after Kruger almost ruined him.

I respect having Hedman top-3 still.

Unsurprisingly I think Hughes is should be a little higher. I think Ekblad and Lindholm are too high.

Slavin is too low... he's one of the best defensive defensemen while still being able to put in average to above-average point production and has a better track record than Morrissey

If I am building a team for 2023-24…I would go something like:

1. Makar
2. Josi
3. Heiskanen
4. McAvoy
5. Dahlin
6. Fox
7. Hedman
8. Quinn
9. Hamilton
10. Lindholm

Also think Pietrangelo still belongs on this list…at least over Seider (for now) and Carlson. Maybe Brodin too.

Hughes seems to remain underrated among people here. He’s in the tier 2 defenders with Heiskanen and Hughes. Can easily make an argument that he is better than both. He definitely had a better season this season and it’s not very debatable when brining up the analytics
