2) Erik Karlsson
3) Victor Hedman

9) Mark Giordano
10) P.K. Subban

Honorable Mention: Marc-Edouard Vlasic, Oliver Ekman-Larsson, T.J. Brodie, Kris Letang (health mostly), Shea Weber

ONly Reason I don't have Karlsson first is because of the all around aspect of his game. yes he is an offensive dynamo, but he only really started focusing more on the defensive side when Guy Boucher came in. If he repeats the overall defensive game he played and puts up points again, he's clearly #1

what the are you saying? I don't understand this incoherent rambling

1. Karlsson
2. Burns
3. Hedman
4. Doughty
5. Josi
6. Suter
7. Ekman-Larsson
8. Jones
9. Keith
10. (I'll get blasted for this) Slavin

Vlasic, Parayko, Pietrangelo, McDonagh, Subban, Ellis and Ekholm are the honorable mentions here. The reason I put Slavin in is because he's a really good two way defenseman who I see as being the next Roman Josi. Give it two years, and we'll be asking how we missed this guy

Like the Jones, still think he isn't top 10. Slavin can have a case
