Who is your team's best defensive forward?

[Coffees]

Not sure who it would be on the Canucks, Elias Pettersson or Dakota Joshua I think


Okay now your guys turn, feel free to talk about upcoming two way players or unsung heros of your team as well

Hmm.. I’d say Rust or Eller. Maybe a newcomer like Lizotte proves to be better.

Elias has been better for longer, Joshua needs to somewhat repeat what he did last season.

On the Avs, probably not suspended Nuke, or uninjured Lehkonen, or not LTIR'd Landeskog. Fun times lol.

That's the big question with Joshua. Also, are we in a somewhat agreement for the first time ever?

Devils are easy, it's Nico Hischier

 

[5 Hole]

I'm gonna go with Barkov.

 

[Choralone]

Kopitar and Danault, still.

Matthews

Marchand

No.

Compher, Copp and Rasmussen are all pretty close in Detroit. Which is the problem.

Suzuki, but his defense on the PK is overrated and his defense at even-strength is underrated.

I've always felt and observed that his game (specifically defensive game) works better with the speed, constant transitioning, and unpredictability of 5-on-5 or 4-on-4, vs. set plays/strategies on the PK. Suzuki is often at his best while thinking on his toes.

Easy one, Joel Eriksson Ek. How this guy has never been a finalist for the Selke, I do not know. He battles for literally every inch of ice, all over the ice, and usually wins. He's got a good stick, good positioning, strong body, he's physical, and he even scores most of his goals for the same reasons that he's good defensively, he's just right there and can't be moved.
There are three things I will never stop singing the virtues of: my family, Costco, and Joel Eriksson Ek. I know about it, and you need to know it too.

Behind him there's a cast of decent defensive guys, but none that are as complete. Guys who deserve a little credit are Ryan Hartman, Marcus Foligno, and (until last year) Freddy Gaudreau. I think Marco Rossi is going to get there, too, but he wasn't there yet.

Sean Couturier is still the top dog in Philly.

Should have been a Selke finalist last year. He's annoying as hell to play against.

 

[I am not exposed]

Barkov

 

[MessierII]

Probably Nugent Hopkins. Connor Brown is really good too but plays way less minutes.

 

[Artemi Panarin]

Connor Brown is really good too

 

[Sheppy]

Marchand.

Bruins have been lucky with he and Bergeron.
