Dougie Hamilton. lol

That guy was a tire fire in the playoffs. That's where the best should shine - not turtle. Go watch some games.

Letang is top three.

I would have had Weber on the list still.

Rielly’s “just ok” in his own zone. Having a stay at home allows him to do what he does.
- Garnie


Hainsey is not a stay at home dman.

I guess tessiers irrational leafs hate helps offset tanner irrational leafs boner.
- HealthyScratch6


Tanner's list (he asked me to forward...)
1. Gardiner...cuz, Leafs or Habs will sign him, and he is Top 3 in the NHL
2. Reilly...cuz, he is a Leaf and actually pretty ok too
3. OEL - cuz, he is so good he should be eligible for East & West.
4. Muzzin - Cuz, welll....He is a Leaf
5. Ceci - Can't pick Rundblad cuz he took his All-world talents to Russia. Oh, and he is a Leaf.

Off D or Def D?

Weber had an off season being injured but he should be in the conversation.

Not one player likes to play against him and he can put up some points...

- WaterBoy



3 years ago..Top 5 easily...now, likely not Top 10. Best years long gone.

Reilly played with Ron freaking Hainsey last year. The guy is a train wreck defensively. In fact he has played with bum partners his whole career. If a dman like Muzzin played the right side with Reilly he would be the best dman not named Hedman. People are clueless
- legendguy

Hainsey got a cup playing 1st pairing in Pittsburgh...and please do not say it was pure luck lol Just saying.

Ps. It might have been luck

Ron Hainsey is horrible. Rielly deserved a Norris nomination just for having to slag him around all year.

- RogerRoeper


the guy had 21 pts and was a +30 last year....his possession numbers weren't great, but he also started over 60% of his shifts in the D zone.

I'm not saying the guy is a top pairing guy, but he's hardly "horrible".

if you think Hainsey is awful, wait until you have to watch Rielly slag Ceci around the ice all year.......

Age has not been kind. He has broke down speed wise. He is a great leader and heart and soul guy just not near good enough to be on a top 4 pair anymore
