ROOS LETS LOOSE POLL: Best single seasons from young defensemen

[FFleming5]

Yup - bad oversight on my part. As at least one commenter mentioned, and the more as I think about it, I should've excluded the "big three" of Makar, Hughes and Dahlin and seen who else would've received votes, including Smith and two others.

No problem - definitely happens! Great article and agree that Makar, Hughes, Dahlin are the gold standard here with the rest having more questions on their futures. I was wondering if there was pause to be concerned about this guy without the mention haha. Owning both Smith and Bouchard in my league where I'm rebuilding, I'm hoping that they will both be mentioned in the same sentence as those 3 at some point - both have tons of upside with the Edm and NJ lineups. (Hope you're right about Bouchard - this is how I see it as well though, and I'm really enjoying watching Oilers games this year - they've been very entertaining)

I think the first 4 are obvious Dahlin, Hughes, Makar & Chabot.

I took Bouchard as my 5th. He could end up with a 40 PPP season in Edm.

Hughes, Makar, Theodore, Dahln, Byram

I didnt spend that long thinking about it, could have easily put Chabot and a few others in there.

I went Makar, Hughes, Dahlin, Chabot, Heiskanen.

But I'd consider Theodore and possibly Fox as well.

And Vilamaki?? does he belong in this group...i would say yes if Rasmus Andersen does...Vilamaki already played a few ganes a couple of yrs ago
