Well, TB and the Avs have an elite Dman. Is Pietrangelo elite? I dunno. He played well in the Blues' cup run, but 41 points isn't remarkable. Rasmus had 50 last year. The Caps had Carlson who has had a gtreat year that year and since has also posted great numbers. But prior to that he wasn't considered elite and scored in the 30s.
Maybe Weegar has yet another gear, or Rasmus or Hanifin. But moreover - why is an elite Dman necessary versus an extremely deep D corps.
