Lombardi seems to think that the two young guys are clearly his top two d-men, and if you listen to him he seems to value them both quite equally.

But you’ve got Voynov and Drew playing clearly expanded roles. You know this is the first time in Drew’s case where he’s killing penalties, he’s not being sheltered; he’s playing against top players. His minutes have grown, and the same with Voynov. So you start there, with your top guys, and you watch the evolution of that. Eventually (at the end) the role you envisioned with those two, to be your Sutter-Chelios, Niedermayer-Pronger type-thing, where those are two top guys. But both of them are still very young. So they’ve kind of been accelerated into that role – and overall, I think they’re handling it very well.

Or this article from a Kings fan actually watching the games.
