Best defenseman on your team this season

Ekblad

Alex Vlasic for the second year in a row.

Colton Parayko is on pace to have career highs in points (45 point pace) and minutes (24:23 per game).

Not bad for a guy some had foolishly called one of the league's worst contracts not that long ago.

Having him on my fantasy team was a wise decision!

For the Flyers it's Sanheim, who else!

 

[Fjordy]

Dahlin

 

[Felidae]

Ekblad

Ekblad has had an offensive resurgence no doubt..but id give it to Forsling

still averages over a minute more on EV, and half a minute on the PK. Ekblad gets all the PP time so that's why their overall TOI average is roughly the same.

Not to mention Forsling is a +20 when the next best on the team is a +9. He's still our greatest defensive presence.

That being said they are both carrying our backend hard.. cause it's a massive drop in quality after them.

Forsling is still consistently steady, but he's been a little off this season, despite having a +20. That's why I gave it to Ek, he's been great on the pp and although he isn't scoring a ton of points, he's moving the puck well and allowing the other 4 to do their jobs. A better ppqb than Monty ever was. And he's still great at ES and PK, leading the team in TOI. I have no doubt Forsling will turn it around at some point, and then the title will no doubt revert back to him.

Never thought I would say this but I think the answer might be Darnell Nurse. Playing the best hockey of his career.

Alex Vlasic for the second year in a row.

Dude is incredible. Probably the most underrated player in the league.

In another team's forum I read (from numerous posters) that Luke kinda fell off a cliff around 10 games ago. Any truth to this? I don't follow the Devils.

I mean, the team as a whole kinda did in the road trip.

 

[MardyBum]

Morrissey obviously, but special shoutout to Dylan Samberg going from third pair to second pair and not missing a step.

 

[The90]

Anthony stolarz and Joseph woll

 

[MNRube]

Faber. Brodin, Spurgeon & Middleton have also been solid, but Faber clearly the alpha. Hopefully Zeev gives him a run for his $ in the coming years

 

[HighLifeMan]

Mackenzie Weegar, and it's not even close.

This guy has been stapled alongside two fringe NHL defensemen all season long (Miromanov and Hanley), and still wins his matchups with ease despite playing nearly 24 minutes a night for a not so good hockey team.

He still doesn't get the respect he deserves - and his omission from the four nations team is a good example of that.
