Definitely in the top 20, scary good for just his 2nd NHL season. If he keeps developing like this he'll be a perennial norris candidate in a few years.

Lets have this discussion in 5 years. Proporov is not close to top 10 now, but he definately has the potentional
Name legitimately 10 better TWO WAY d men.
If you name Rielly I’m going to laugh.

Let's have a discussion, but we're going to alienate people if they mention certain players.

5 years?
He’s definitely close. I can’t see a case for him being out of the top 25, and I think he has a really strong case for top 20.He is totally going to name Rielly, and it’ll be hilarious.

Give him a bit more time. I do think Provorov and McAvoy are the best <23 year old defencemen in the league.

Did you really just mention Burns as one of the top all-around dmen? He is so bad defensively it's not even funny

there are different aspects to playing defense. The big one now a days is the ability to play the puck in the ozone. If the puck is in the ozone you don't need to defend and in that aspect he is elite. In his own zone he is not a chara by any means but he can buckle down and be tough to play against.

Erik Karlsson is a top 10 all around d man?
It’s hilarious. The guy can’t defend to save his life.
Please people read what I said, two way defense man!

If you're wanting to put an emphasis on the defensive end of things and for some reason exclude Karlsson, Klingberg, Carlson, Krug, then here you go:
Drew Doughty
Victor Hedman
PK Subban
Alex Pietrangelo
Seth Jones
Ryan Suter
Roman Josi
Hampus Lindholm
OEL
Duncan Keith
Kris Letang
Jake Gardiner
Zach Werenski
I think that's over 10. And I did that without really having to think too hard of it

Werenski over Provorov? Keith from this season over Provorov? Oh, no.

His one way is so much better than Provorov that he could literally score on his own net once a game and still be a better and more valuable defenceman.
Sorry to burst your bubble chief.

Werenski - yup. And you know, I tend to give a defenseman with a 10 year proven track record the benefit of the doubt on one bad season when his team is underperforming - crazy, right?
