Next to join top tier of D-Men

[Moses]

The top tier of fantasy defencemen is pretty clear. It was Karlsson and Burns, who were joined this year by Hedman. Letang is also up there, however he's also a big injury risk.
My questions is: Who is the next to join this very elite tier?

Drew Doughty

Doughty has averaged only 44.5 points per year over the last 4 seasons. There is room for a big jump in production now that he is unshackled from the Darryl Sutter system

That's a bold strategy Cotton

Jake Gardiner.

So much up and coming talent on Toronto. Matthews, Nylander and Marner. Someone on the back end will benefit. My pick is Jake Gardiner

Great thread idea OP. Love reading these comments to hopefully grab the next great D-man

Subban for me. He's way more comfortable now in the playoffs than he was during the regular season. I think he kicks it up a notch next year.
