The guy who’s +17 on a minus team not surrounded by 2 of the best forwards in the league. It’s not even close.

This is honestly not close at the moment. Bouchard is great on the blue line, but man does he suffer in his own end. Dobson looking awesome both ways.

Dobson AINEC, but OP is an Isles fan, I’m sure you knew that. This hasn’t been a debate for years.

 

[BondraTime]

Bouchard is a good offensive D, playing with 2 of the best offensive players in the league.

He's not good at any aspect of the game outside of offense.

Dobson, and wouldn't even think for a second otherwise

He’s being propped up on a McDrai PP honestly. He was borderline invisible last night besides the SHG where he looked like an E division beer leaguer in a C division game.

Yes, I am an Isles fan. After last night's game and both players showing to be elite offensive RHD's atop the NHL leaderboards and the recent necro-bump of the previous poll that is outdated, I made this one.

I clearly favor Dobson, but I tried to keep the poll unbiased thus the more detailed choices.

I think Bouchard is a terrific offensive Dman. Not a fan of his game in the D zone but in the O zone he's elite.
