Good work, Enoch! Love it, very interesting.

Trying to help you with the data ...

Here is the top ten points by defensemen by team in the last 5 years with I caveat that I'll summarize at the end.

NSH 764
CGY 706
SJS 704
NYI 657
MIN 655
STL 654
WSH 653
LAK 648
TBL 644
PIT 642

Top ten teams in terms of rank in the NHL Standings (average) in those 5 years

Anaheim Ducks 5.4
Washington Capitals 7.2
Pittsburgh Penguins 7.4
St. Louis Blues 8
Tampa Bay Lightning 8.8
Chicago Blackhawks 9.4
Boston Bruins 10
Minnesota Wild 10.4
New York Rangers 11
Nashville Predators 11.2

Only 5 of the top ten total defense production teams are in the top ten in standings over that time period.

Caveat was traded defenseman. The site that would pull the data all at once assigned traded defenseman to the team "Total", instead of their breakdown. So I painstakingly went back and assigned the vast majority of them to the team where they produced the most in those seasons.

The summary above is only one way to look at it, and there may be better ways that are more revealing.
