Easily top 5 dman in the league and theyre considering not taking him. Absolutely ridiculous. Stamkos coming back will be big too and him and Crosby would be a stupid great top line. Maybe stick Perry on the other side of them.
I think Subban's a lock, although he's definitely not a top 5 d-man. His defensive game isn't nearly good enough for that kind of praise. 6 of the 8 spots look pretty locked in to me, with just the pairings to figure out.

Pietrangelo-Weber
Keith-Doughty
Bouwmeester-Subban
Vlasic/Hamhuis-Seabrook-Letang

I really think Seabrook is going to come back into favour over Letang, who has been awful so far this year. You already have your PP specialist in Subban, along with a bunch of other guys that can handle that role, so he might be unnecessary.

Vlasic vs. Hamhuis looks like a complete toss-up. They provide a lot of the same types of things.
