I think it would be funny to find out who you think the team's best defenseman is this year.
Who do you think is the team's best dman?
They've all struggled, like Sanheim and Ghost allowing a Devil to get behind them.
Oh yeah, Hagg keeps carrying Ghost.
# 9 .....of course
no other Dman comes close to his vision and first pass out of the Flyers zone.....but of course you've seen that, right ?
FUNNY ??, HOW ?
Yup , there’s definitely tiers with significant separation between the top two and everyone else. Probably something like...
__________
Ghost and Sanheim
Provorov and Braun
____ NHL level ____
Morin
Myers
Hagg
Prosser
___________
Anyone suggesting they've all been bad and nobody should be called the best (as quite a few people have said) are just people who won’t admit that Ghost has been great this year, which many swore would never happen again.
Every dman let's men behind them. That's a feature of the system.
Hogg carries nobody. Ghost is this defensive anchor. He's a passenger whose career will end shortly after we finally spit him out.
He’s the one who was freaking out that teammates didn’t hug Provorov enough after a goal.Lol yeah you're either trolling or don't know what you're watching. Good to confirm that though.

You can’t. We went back in time.You get to Arizona and you think it can't go any further south, and yet ...
Well, Ghost is headed to Seattle, they're not protecting him and he's a better bargain than Voracek or JVR.
So get used to it.
They're not going to blow it up b/c there isn't much left to blow up.
You're not going to get much in a trade for any veteran other than Couts. Moving Voracek or JVR is a salary dump. G ain't going anywhere.
I don’t see a star player in the organization that will replace G.
Patrick was our lucky lottery ticket for a MacKinnon / Eichel type. But it most definitely didn’t pan out that way.
Farabee might be the best of the bunch, and that’s pretty much the end of the list.
Maybe you can win a Cup without true star talent if you have enough depth, but depth is nowhere near as exciting to watch as star power.
It’s ridiculous how quickly Fletch made this team as vanilla as the Wild without really doing anything.
imagine him saying that while on the job..
0.0% chance
That could be a part, but I think it's more that when they're with him, they get sheltered.Theory: Ghost and Sanheim see stat boosts with Hogg because he's so checked out they have to be more involved, and as our two best dmen their increased involvement benefits the team.
This isn’t a “run it back” type of year. There needs to be changes in all three levels:management, coaching and players. This season is simply inexcusable and should not be tolerated. There is a lot of blame to go around
You seem pleased at the team getting worse, just to ditch a good dman for no return?
I thought we were definitely going to be contenders this year and next?
