[StuntMan12]

Results from the previous poll:

2. Brent Burns - SJ (18 votes) 86%

5. Roman Josi - NSH (9 votes) 43%

Rules:

-Pick the top 5 defencemen out of the list for (pts only) out of the 20 I list in the poll
-The top 5 voted on by noon the next day will be ranked by votes and be taken out of the poll, then 5 new players will be added in.
- In case there is a defenceman you would wish to vote for is not listed then mention their name in the comments and I will have it added up for the final tally.




I'm doing this to have a well rounded list for defence in my drafts. Have seen these styles of polls to rank players on other forums so I thought I would give this a try. Am taking this season more serious than ever. The Dobber community has been an big part of my recent success so I trust your guys input. Thanks everyone!

I really like what you are doing here... Nice work!

I voted for:

Hamilton
OEL
Subban
Krug
Buff

I was back and forth on whether to include Letang or not... I am just not cofident in his health and how many games he will play in comparison to these guys.

yep this is where it gets interesting. the top 5 was kind of a given but with more voting time (12:00PM eastern tomorrow) it should be interesting what the votes are.

[lucafen4]

Letang - 65 games - 55pts
Shattenkirk - where he wants to be
OEL - big bounce back on a team that will be fun to play on for a change
Keith - 55
Doughty - I think he gets let loose

Day 2 is a little tighter.

[RizzeeDizzee]

The probably wouldn't have made my top five (in no particular order, Letang, Hamilton, OEL, Buff, Pietrangelo), but there were more than a half dozen names from your write-in list who I feel will outpoint a good number of guys who comprise current voting choices

[LeTrefle]

We're looking for dmen in the 50-55 range.
I voted Risto, Letang, Buff, Subban, Krug.
EOL, Shatt, Keith, Hamilton, Yandle, Ghost, Pietrangelo, Werenski could all be in this group too...
