Josi has quickly gone from the most underrated defenseman in the league to now possibly overrated. He does, however, have the best contract among defensemen. I'm not saying he isn't a great defenseman, but top 5 is a massive stretch.

Because when you play Subban/Ekholm against top players for 20 minutes a game, you can play Roman Josi for 30 minutes against guys who aren't as good as Roman Josi.
