Aren't all bottom pairing guys below average? It is the second pairing who are average defensemen.

Are we judging by the perspective of the former Alberta Conservative Education minister who wanted all Alberta students to be above the average?

"Bearly average" on the scale for bottom-pairing defensemen. (And I fail to see what Alberta politics has to do with this.)

I would actually qualify all legitimate top-four defensemen in the NHL as very good. You have to be much better than average to play 20 mins a night on a decent NHL second pair.
