Tanner doesn't agree with the list, so it's garbage. I'm shocked! Tanner denying facts? Never thought I'd see the day!

Remember the time James got owned by Bill Meltzer in his own blog.

Tanner you will never get that being a defenseman means your primary obligation is keeping the puck out of your own net. You have no idea and your math can't help you with that.

In Yimmys world his opinion is fact. No need to back it up.

No. Presidents trophy winners are the real NHL champions and OEL is better than Drew Doughty.

Remember when Yimmy said Gormley was a future Norris trophy winner?

Statistics suggest that even if OEL ends up anywhere on this list, Jimmy-TanTan will still write a blog complaining about where OEL is on the list.

It's all random. Anyone can be in the top 20. Gardiner isn't signed yet but he should be top 10. So should Cody Franson. NHL GMs don't know what they're doing. You need to be young like Chayka to be successful. Being different means you're a genius.

That list is terrible, Burns isn't even the best defeceman on his team, I would put Burns somewhere between 10 and 20.

I would not put Karlsson at #1 either, I would have him barely in the top 10, he doesn't actually bother with playing much defense.

Ryan Ellis not on the list is just absurd

Parayko should be much higher, higher than Pietro even.

Klingberg? Really? If he is on the list, then I can totally see an argument for OEL.

Top 4 should be Gardiner, Franson, Gormley, Runblad.
