I know there is gonna be some karlsson haters but dude literally had 100 pts last year and most of his points came at even strength

chabot shouldnt be in HM

how is Chabot in hm and Hughes isn't in top ten

Quinn Hughes should be right next to Dahlin

Erik Karlsson? lol

Where's Hedman?

Is this a joke?

Dougie Hamilton had a better WAR, better xWAR, better G+/- RAPM, more points (by 47!), a better 5v5 goal differential, a better relTM G+/- (Slavin was actually negative), a better gamescore, and a better GSVA.

The single net-metric in which Slavin grades out better than Hamilton is expected goals.

It will be interesting to see what karlsson does this year on a team that will actually expect him to play some defense

Not even a single consideration for any of the D on the cup winning team.

Cause Hughes isn’t that great defensively

He's not terrible defensively, miles better than ek65

Hedman ain't top 10 lol

Not miles better maybe a little bit better and karlsson is a game changer compared to Hughes he can actually score goals and takeover a game all by himself

Quin Hughes has 26 goals in his entire career karlsson had 25 this year and 20 at even strength

I mean Karlsson Is great but a huge risk. Where are the Tampa D?

I mean he also broke the record for fastest to 200 assists

Rutta

Hughes is much better defensively than Karlsson. He also has better defensive metrics than Dahlin

You seem to not understand what defenseman do....maybe that's why this list is so pathetic.

Yes he is lol. Are you living in 2020? His defense has drastically improved lol

You're telling me that the playmaking defenseman is NOT scoring a ton of goals? Your previous comment said Hughes is not good defensively, but you seriously are going to put Karlsson here?

How many points did Erik Karlsson have after 4 NHL seasons?

Karlsson had most of his points at even strength unlike Hughes he also is able to single handily takeover a game hughes has 26 career goals karlsson scored that many last year

H

Hughes had most of his point as even strength. Hughes can't take a game over? Might want to check the stats and the multiple NHL records that Hughes has at 23 years old. If you're using GOALS as a way to measure a DEFENSEMAN, then you're doing things wrong... How about you check their defensive analytics.

He had one slightly down season and suddenly he's not top 10? He was a Norris finalist for 6 straight years, winning one and winning the Smythe. Dude is one of the best offensively and defensively.
Dude was over a point per game in 2021-22 and has gone to three straight cup finals. A little burnout last year but he's still easy top 10

To not consider Hedman a top 10 D in the NHL is just.....idk
