Hughes for me at this point. I can’t see Zach keeping up his pace.

But the poll is only based on up to this point so… who do you think has been the best Dman so far?

Werenski is winning this the way him and Columbus is going

Did you miss the Hughes for me at this point part of the post?

What does Werenski 'keeping up his pace' have anything to do with up until now though?

I guess I'm reading your post as one continuous thought where the two things are connected. I guess if you're just stating both as unrelated points then all good. Was just saying that Werenski keeping up his pace or not shouldn't hav anything to do with who's been better up until now. FWIW I agree with you on Hughes, I have them 1A 1B

I'm a Canucks fan, but i will always have an extremely difficult time voting for a dman who doesn't consistently play on the pk. Like for me ya gotta have at least the opportunity to have an effect on that important part of the defensive side of the game. It feels incomplete voting for a dman who doesn't pk.

its so obvious there need be an award for best defensive dman . ecspecially for non hockey playing fans (theres millions) sake to better understand game and know who the most important players are ! also concerning non hockey playing fans a bottom of screen ticker should be utilized to teach hockey terminology such as half wall / bumper / etc . and finally , also use ticker to i.d. players on the ice so fans can more easily identify opponant players . another biggy is make nets say 6'' wider to increase scoring = more exciting games , and in first place bigger goalies n pads make original size nets too small !
