I would say to you, sir, that with the greatest possible respect, you are on crack.
Especially with regard to Burns, because that should be obvious by this point, but OEL has been a hugely underrated guy for years and is biting at the heels of the top 5 guys. He doesn't get his due because Coyotes. It's always curious to me that people who have (quite rightly) been annoyed for years at Gio not getting his due are more than willing to dismiss a guy who's just as consistently underrated.

Hey,well, props for stepping up. I would disagree with some of this; I'd be more likely to put Giordano ahead of Keith at this point than Subban or OEL, and you've not mentioned Josi, who may be a bit high on the NHL's list but is clearly a better all around defenseman than any of Pietrangelo, Weber, Suter, or McDonagh. I'd also put Hamilton in front of some of those guys. At some point we're splitting hairs on that stuff.
