I think too many people are jaded by the idea of having elite scoring defensemen. I personally think they're over rated, unless they score their points with a nasty shot from the blueline or because they're very good PP tactician.
Sure, having a Makar is nice but without a Toews they can be a detriment.
I'd rather have one Hedman and five Fabbro's. Than one Josi or Karlson and five Carriers trying to be like them.
