I saw this last night and said to myself pretty much the same things you guys are saying. The list was created by Ken Daneyko, and I'm not saying he doesn't know what he's talking about, but some of these guys are definitely rated too high.
I also feel bad for Ekblad. Poor kid has a bad year under a terrible coach and system, and all of a sudden he's behind the likes of Parayko and Slavin....seriously? The kid justified his 1st overall selection in his first 2 years in the league, but recency bias puts Colton friggin' Parayko ahead of him, not to mention ahead of Hamilton.
Something tells me this list will look vastly different after this year.
