Travis Sanheim is developing steadily. I was sceptical when he was a rookie, but he build his game season by season, as well as his confidence.
As many have said, Ekholm. Consistently steady as a rock.

While I agree forsling is very good and underrated at one point, his name comes up so often now I find it hard to say he's underrated. Seems like he's pretty adequately rated as a damn good #2 defenseman. I'll say underrated is Vince Dunn.

No, see.... he's a #1 defenseman. He's top 10 in the league Why do you think Florida has had such a good defense recently despite not having a ton of big names? You should know as a Bolts fan ...he totally neutered Kuch last playoffs .
Yeah, he did neuter kuch. Can't argue there, but I don't see the #1 defenseman, mostly with his offensive game.

I'd take a stud shutdown defender who will perennially score 35-40 points/season, than a guy like Bouchard who scores a lot of points but is questionable in their own zone. Forsling doesn't get any pp time,although he could, because Maurice wants to keep him fresh for the toughest matchups and the pk. If he did get pp 1 time , he'd score at least 50-60 points per season while being great defensively. Look at some of his goals from this last playoff run alone, he had some beautiful goals, and they were big goals at huge moments too. For example, he ended the Boston series. He has a great underrated wrist shot .

Bounced from team to team after being traded by us and then played rock solid for us and even saved a goal in game 7 of the SCF

Someone mentioned him, but possibly Neal Pionk goes a bit under the radar.

Not wrong.
Nurse is touted as the worst contract in the NHL when godawful deals like Huberdeau's and Stamkos's exist.
Its meme level at this point. Shut off brain and blame Nurse.

For top line d-men, Morrissey (who I think has been top six in the league since Buff and Trouba left the Jets).

To think we drafted him and let him go for nothing. Forsling has really turned into a gem indeed.
2 other teams let him go for nothing as well
