Mid-season Devils defense rankings #2

[Zippy316]

1. Andy Greene (~90% of the votes).

Since Greene has clearly won that one, now comes the tricky and interesting part. Feel free to debate here if you want.

Fayne for me, love his calmness and his decision making (most of the time). plus i was at the game where he scored his first goal so we're pretty much best friends at this point

 

[Cheddabombs]

I don't know if anyone even deserves this after Greene. I can't decide, they've all had decent streaks, then streaks of pure ****. If my hand was forced, I'd probably say either Fayne or Larsson but cases can be made for others. I'll go with Fayne but being the 2nd best defender on this team right now isn't saying much.

Curve-ball, Merrill

 

[JimEIV]

Fayne .. then Zidlicky then Salvador then Larsson then Volchenkov then Harold

Tallinder gets an "incomplete". Just hasn't played enough.

Now I don't have to vote anymore.

 

[Zippy316]

I'm taking Salvador.

He's been consistently solid. He's had some bad moments, but nowhere near as bad as some of the other guys or for as long as they have had.

 

[AfroThunder396]

Mark Fayne

 

[Devils Trap]

Fayne

 

[Gunnar Stahl 30]

maybe im missing something but fayne? really? im not trying to knock him but he sat for 3 weeks and plays with, according to the last poll, the teams best defenseman


im going with salvador. he plays the tough minutes

He wasn't benched due to his play

 

[Desert Devil]

Went with Fayne.

 

[hlaverty06]

Larsson

 

[Blender]

Fayne. He's struggled a bit lately, but also hasn't gotten a chance to play well again with being scratched so much so others could get game time. When he's on his game, he's out 2nd best defenseman.

 

[rtr1105]

Fayne has been good but I'm taking Larsson. He's really been good defensively and on offense he shoots low and creates good rebounds. He could play man to man and when he's with Greene I feel always feel really confident that the pair will create a turnover. I know a lot of people were hard on him in the Ottawa game. I'll admit that he had some bad moments in that, but otherwise I thought he played pretty well.

 

[Mgd31]

Fayne, then probably Sal and then I guess Larsson

 

[Robert Theodorson]

Voted Fayne

Oh no one voted Volchenkov, shocker ugh

 

[VaxjoDevil]

I'm tempted to vote Zid. If I go with the thinking of "whose departure would have the most negative impact on this team" Greene is obvious as first, but I really do think Zid brings stuff that is extremely hard to replace.

 

[Oneiro]

I would go with Zid for the same reasons.

Provided he limits himself to wrist shots.

 

[Rob Nieds work ethic]

Salvador
Zidlicky
Fayne
Harrold
Larsson
Volchenkov

 

[CerebralGenesis]

I got Zidlicky and Fayne at 2 and 3. Don't matter the order.

 

[bmqdevils]

Salvador
Zidlicky
Fayne
Harrold
Larsson
Volchenkov

harrold has NOT been better than larsson. if you need an example, watch harrold play yesterday. horrible.

 

[Chessarmy]

Salvador, he's the only physical stay at home D-man on this team that doesn't suck

 

[Rob Nieds work ethic]

harrold has NOT been better than larsson. if you need an example, watch harrold play yesterday. horrible.

No, I think Harrold has been better overall. Harrold had a bad game yesterday, but has been great apart from that. Larsson has looked shaky all season, to a lesser extent recently, though.

 

[Better Call Sal]

Salvador because he has gotten more consistent as the season has gone on. I have Fayne at #3, would be #2 if he had been in the lineup for the last couple weeks (his fault or not, it's difficult to rank him at #2 when he hasn't played in that long.)

 

[AfroThunder396]

Harrold is the worst player that's worn a Devils jersey this season. -8 in 12 games is outstanding production.

Maybe Cam was worse. At least Barch and Greek aren't detriments when they're on the ice.

 

[Saugus]

I think it's Fayne. Solid in all aspects of the game, and he eats minutes when he plays.
