Subban might be more talented offensively and flashier than McDonagh, but McDonagh is the more complete player. I'm not saying Subban is a bad player, or that I wouldn't gladly ice a pairing of Subban and McDonagh for the next 12 years, but at this stage in their careers, McDonagh is the #1 d-man on the Rangers, and I don't think Subban would knock him off that podium.

To be fair, if Subban were on the Rangers corps, I wouldn't be surprised to see him knock off McDonagh for the #1 spot. Disciplined team, working system, good coach. All of that would do wonders for him.
