Erik Karlsson 8th? I'm very very very confused right now. He had 82 points two years ago, lead all defenseman in scoring this year. How in the hell is he not top 3?

Ekholm is 9th in WAR, HERO chart of a #1, 2.6 CF% rel, 99.6 PDO

Klefbom is 3rd in WAR, HERO chart of a #1, 7.6 PS, 100.5 PDO, 15 GC

edit : Ekholm is 7th in WAR

fair enough, i could maybe put Karlsson higher. 4th or 5th okay?

Also, those are just stats.

Then why did you just say "those are just stats" if you don't even know how to properly analyze them?

What statistical evidence do you have to support your contention that Doughty is better than Karlsson

1 Doughty

3 Hedman
4 Keith
5 Josi
6 Burns
7 Weber
8 Suter
9 Pietrangelo
10 OEL

Honorable mentions: Subban, McDonagh, Giordano

none, but when i'm watching the game is when i decide how good i think a player is. Sure, Karlsson i think could even be top 3, i just don't think he's number 1.
