Thing is, with 31 teams in the league, you gotta be able to name 62 better dmen before you say a guy isn’t a top pair defender.

This exactly. In the NHL right now there simply aren't enough "top pairing" defenseman to go around.

I used to get the new NHL every year but '14 was my last because after that was when they shifted to the new generation of consoles. NHL was the only game I ever played so it didn't make sense to me to buy an Xbox One or PS4 solely for that. Also figured having the one with Marty on the cover being the last one I ever bought made sense.

I just purchased an Xbox One in May, well worth the money.
