Same as the other two threads. Fire away boys.
Points only:
1. Green
2. Gonchar
3. Markov
4. Boyle(if Heatley makes his way to SJ)
5. Streit
6. Phaneuf
7. Campbell
8. Lidstrom
9. Rafalski
10. Kronwall
11. JBo

13. Weber
14. Wideman
15. Kaberle
16. Burns
17. Nieds
18. Keith
19. Enstrom
20. Suter
This is dependent on Heatley going to SJ though. If he doesn't, I'd drop Boyle 4 or 5 spots.

18. McCabe
19. Barker
20. Visnovsky
A few notables off the list who could make a case: Kronwall, Keith, Suter, Bieksa, Letang, Doughty, EJ and Goligoski.
In the cases of Kronwall and Bieksa, I just have a feeling they will both lose man games to injury.
I think Barker outpoints Keith this season in Chi-town.
Suter will just miss the cut, due to improved (and full) seasons out of McCabe, Kaberle and Visnovsky.
As for the kids - Letang, Goligoski, EJ and Doughty will be scratching their way in. In fact, two of them may end up cracking the top 20 with a sledgehammer.

Keith has never been a big time scorer and had a very good year last yaer, Barker will steal some time away from him this season. With that said Campbell should fall a bit too.
One for me is Lubomir Visnovsky, he has 31 points in 50 games last season which would have pro-rated to 51 points, 11th overall for D-men. He has a good chance to better that this season.
Another out there one for me is Alex Edler. He's building momentum and could take a big step forward following his playoff performance from last season.
But similiarly to centers, from top 20-35 maybe even 40 you're really looking at 5 points difference. Definitely very hard to narrow it down to 20.
Again like the forward thread(s) I also looked at PIMS, PPP and Plus/Minus,
