Lots of good D here that won’t make it in. In reality after the first 15D or so it’s a long list of guys that are better off as a number 2.

Letang got voted in at 21 but he's still carrying an entire defence, not just a pairing.

I like John Carlson here. He's clearly washington's backbone, and is a consistent point producer.

Weegar, Ekblad and Carlson (in any order)


A somewhat underrated defenceman who got traded to a team that lacked any real defensive talent
I don’t disagree he’s underrated previously or very good, but I don’t think he’s a top 25 defenseman either.
