Thread: The 2019-20 All Defensive Team From Each Team
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>nalzugaray12</b></div><div>Sebastian Aho 71 takeaways vs Staal's 30. Sebastian Aho plays only about 30 seconds less on average on the PK compared to Staal. Sebastian Aho lead the Hurricanes with 4 short handed goals. Aho had a very good defensive year for Carolina and I'm shocked you would make such a claim.</div></div>

So, you're using short handed points and takeaways? Not the fact Staal and Nino had double the D zone starts, Aho was a - in expected goals against wheras Staal Nino and TT were all strong positive? We're also gona ignore the fact that Aho was one of the worst defensive players in the league in terms of xGA when you take Teravainen away? Making any claim to say Aho was good defensively this year is a lie. I love Aho, but defence ain't his speciality

Thread: The 2019-20 All Defensive Team From Each Team
Goli was the worst defensive player on ARZ, I'd take Hino Fischer or Dvo over Stepan as well
Risto was also probably the worst defensive player on the sabres (maybe Montour)
Pesce and Dougie were both better defensively than Slavin, and Aho was probably the worst defensive player on CAR...
I'd go Backlund or Ryan in CGY
Koekkoek DeHaan Maata and Murphy were all (significantly) better than Keith defensively
Savard (and Gavrikov) over Jones
Ian Cole is a very good DFD, and the best on COL, and Nuke blew everyone else out of the water defensively on COL (and most of the league)
Oleksiak&gt;Heisk&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;x50000000 Lindell (defensively obv Heisk&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;x5000 Oleksiak overall)
It's gotta be Mantha or Bert, the rest of the team was such a tire fire (aside from Larkin obv)
Bear and Yammamoto (or Archibald if you want a full season)
Weegar and Hubes&gt;&gt;
Doughty was probably the worst DFD on LAK, Roy Walker and Hutton were all a lot better
Spurgeon or Brodin&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;Suter, and while JEE is very very good defensively, the king of low event forwards happens to be Marcus Foligno
Butcher&gt;&gt;&gt;, and I'm gonna give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that you would have put Coleman as a run away winner had he not been traded
back to having the worst defensive player on the team in Trouba (well... Staal, it's hard to be worse than him at much of anything as an NHLer) and Panarin was simply the best overall player in the league this year...
Zaitsev actively hurts his team while he's on the ice, he's the farthest thing from good defensively (tho both of those statements apply to a lot of the players you listed...)
Couts absolutely blew everyone on PHI out of the water, they weren't in the same universe
Dumo/ZAR. (who just happened to be one of the best defensive forwards in the game this year)
Definately not Couture, I'd argue Hertl or Meier as well
EP in VAN.
Carlson was the worst defender on that team...
I'd argue Demelo, but if you don't want to count him... is nobody an option...? and for forwards, you could argue Ehlers over Copp, but certainly not Connor, not only was he one of the worst defensive forwards on the team, he was probably one of the bottom 5-10 defensive players in the league...

Thread: Players That Have The Potential To Win The Hart IMO
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Herms17</b></div><div>Leon is and should be the winner. anyone else is a massive mistake</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OkBoomer</b></div><div>Maybe. The one thing that concerns me, and it is not taking away from him, is that he is playing with another Hart Trophy winner. I think that Eichel has a legitimate shot this year because he has absolutely nobody around him.</div></div>

As i have said:
Hart: "player judged most valuable to his team"

If you had to trade either Leon or McJesus, you would you keep? You would keep Mcdavid.
If the player you want to be the Hart winner isnt even the most valuable on his team, he cant be the most valuable in the league.

Winners:
1. MacKinnon
2. Panarin
3. Hellebuyck
4. Eichel
5. Drai / Mcdavid
6. Marchy / Pasta

EDIT:
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AlwaysBeleaf1919</b></div><div>My pick would be Panarin. He led a team without much firepower into the playoff picture (Mika was out for a while). He's also is elite offensively and defensively.</div></div>

Well said
