Karlsson should be added.

But Drew Doughty is the best Dman in the NHL.

Rinaldo? 

Marchand?

Kesler?

What do these clowns have to do with Drew Doughty?

Someone above listed top pussies in the league.  I submitted a few suggestions.  Sheesh.

Karlsson, for me, is in the same grouping as Subban.  Wicked offensive instincts, but not as super elite as those other three or four mentioned in the defensive end.

Shea Weber and Drew Daughtry would be my other two.  

Do I pass the litmus test?

edit: honorable mention to Ryan Suter. 

Nope. Still didn't list one of the top guys, arguably the best this year.

Yep. Massively under-appreciated right now. Even his "so-so" games are pretty good. Best defensemen in the league right now is arguable. Top 3? I don't think so.

And let's not kid ourselves… Karlsson is a forward, who lines up behind the other forwards. He's not really one to play actual defense.

Karlsson sucks in his own zone.

Yup. Like I said, he's a forward (and not a good defensive forward either) who just happens to play behind the other forwards.

I would not even put Letang in the top 5. Top 10 yeah sure. Just because he is under appreciated does not make him top 5. The Blues have 2 defense man that are under appreciated as well, but are they top 5, I don't think so. Although one is in his rookie season and is in the top 5 for defense man in + -

That's okay. Wouldn't be the first time you're wrong. :-)

Letang is a stud. He's not top three because he's under-appreciated. He's under-appreciated because many don't consider him top 3 or 5.

Fine by me. He's way up there. Norris finalist AND good at defending. Plays PP and PK. Critical to a very good team's success. Makes everyone on the ice better with him.

Top 3. I don't care if you disagree. Not in the least. Game winner tonight I think…

Playoffs!

But if the Rangers keep playing like they have the last month or so, even if Lundqvist comes back and stands on his head, this series will be over in 5 games (although @iacas would probably say it'll be a sweep). :ninja:

He's a great offensive D-Man but doesn't play D.  44th ranked plus/minus among defensemen in the league does not reflect well on an offensive-minded D-man.  

He has the name recognition so he may get a Norris nomination but I sure hope not.  Pulling for our young guy Klingberg ahead of Letang.  Plays O and D, and our goal-tending was crap this season.

    • This is a loooooong winded narrative so if you don't like long stories, move on. 😉 Our senior club typically gets about 25 new members each year. We lose about 25 members each year for various reasons (moved to FL/AZ, disabled, dead, too expensive). Of the new members, usually 20 have an active GHIN handicap. About 5 each year do not have a GHIN handicap. When they join our club, we give each member a state association membership that includes GHIN handicapping services. We play a series of handicapped tournaments over the summer. When we sign up a new member who does not have a GHIN handicap, we attempt to give them an estimated index until they have sufficient scores posted to have an actual GHIN index.  Our first event typically is around May 15 so, in theory, a new member has about 6 weeks to post a few scores. Posting season in the Mitten starts April 1. Inevitably, several of the unhandicapped individuals seem  to either not play until the first tournament or can't figure out how to enter scores (hey, they are seniors). That situation then leads to my contacting the new member and asking a series of questions: a. Did you ever have a GHIN handicap? If yes, which State and do you recall what it was? b. Do you have an alternate handicap through a non-GHIN handicap service or a league? c. What do you think your average score was last year (for 9 or 18) d. What was your best score last year? Where did you play and which tee was used? e. What do you consider a very good score for yourself? Based on their responses I attempt to give them an index that makes them competitive in the first couple events BUT does not allow them to win their flight in the first couple events. We don't want the new members to finish last and at the same time, we don't want someone with a "20" playing handicap to win the third flight with a net 57. In the event some new member did shoot a net 57, we also advise everyone that we can and will adjust handicaps retroactively when it is clear to us that a member's handicap does not accurately reflect their potential. We don't like to adjust things retroactively and in the 8 years I have chaired the Handicap Committee, we have only done it once. So here are the questions to the mob: Any ideas how to do this better? Any questions one might ask an unhandicapped individual to better estimate their index/handicap? Would it be reasonable to have a new player play once (or more?) without being eligible to place in the money?
