I might lower Fox and raise Josi but hard to argue with this top 10.
I was thinking of my 11 and 12s but besides changing the order this is all 10 players I'd have in my top 10 this year.
Hughes
Makar
Werenski
Morrissey
Josi
Hedman
Fox
Heiskanen
Dahlin
Theodore

On ice expected goals against per 60:
Hughes: 2.06
Makar: 2.09
On ice shot attempts against per 60:
Hughes: 46.11
Makar: 52.81
On ice high danger attempts per 60:
Hughes: 2.11
Makar: 1.99
One ice goal differential:
Hughes: +17
Makar: +7
On ice expected goal differential:
Hughes: +8.3
Makar: +9.1
Shots Blocked per game:
Hughes: 0.8
Makar: 1.1
Relative Corsi: (BY FAR THE BEST STAT TO INDICATE HOW IMPORTANT YOU ARE TO THE TEAM, indicates how effective you are with you on the ice vs off the ice)
Hughes: 25.4 (NHL record), even strength is 17.6, next closest is Adam Fox at 11.2. For context McDavid is at 9.5 for even strength.
Makar: 6.8, even strength is 4.4
Corsi % at even strength:
Hughes: 58.7
Makar: 55.2
Relative expected goals %:
Hughes: 14.9% (#1 in league including forwards)
Makar: 8.2% (#14 in league)
In majority of the advanced stats, Hughes is not only the better defender, but better controller of the game, while playing with a far far far worst cast of players (especially defensive partners). He's producing at a higher point per game pace, getting zone exits and controlled exits and entries far more than any other defender in the league and is in general controlling the play far more. It's not even close.

Buddy is carrying the team by himself.
