Thoughts
Paging Kris Letang. Has anyone seen Kris Letang?
Any list of top-10 defensemen that includes Ryan McDonagh and leaves out Letang is simply wrong. Also, while Shea Weber is obviously still a very good defenseman, at what point do we realize that Duncan Keith is hands down the best overall defenseman in the league?
I don’t have many issues with the names listed here other than what I mentioned above. But, seriously, no Letang?
