I can't think of anyone I'd put over him, Doughty, and Karlsson in the top 3 in the league. I wouldn't put Monahan on that list myself, but he keeps producing, and I'm happy to continue to be wrong about him. Gio is the oversight to me, every defense partner he has gets talked about as one of the best D-men in the NHL until he's not with them anymore.

This has absolutely nothing to do with why I and many others feel Crosby is the better player. Crosby is a much more complete player than McDavid. IMO it's not even debatable. McDavid gets lots of points and is easily the 2nd best player in the world, but he is not and will never reach Crosby's level.
