McDonagh and Gorges are a little too high. Girardi a little too low. Garrison making the list is a head scratcher.

No, simply ranking defensemen on their defensive ability.

Marginally, although Keith is way too low.

Ryan McDonagh.

Good job Rangers fans.

Funny, since most Rangers fans were voting for Staal

Most surprising name on the list would be #20.

Which they should have been without question. Someone had to lobby hard for him there, and I doubt it was an Islanders fan.

Staal should be higher. I think the concussion downgraded him in the eyes of nonranger fans.

Fully agree. HF has kids still learning the game on this list above a guy that was a key defensive player in Cup runs like Scuds.
