Looking at the defence further - the brass clearly doesn't really value point production from the blueline (bafflingly).

Here's the top eight scorers among Canadian defencemen this year:

Makar 45*
Bouchard 37
Morrissey 30*
Chychrun 30
Raddysh 29
Dobson 27
Rielly 25
Schaefer 25

How do the guys they did take stack up?

Theodore 20 (9th)
Sanheim 17 (17th)
Harley 14 (25th)
Doughty 13 (T-29th)
Toews 13 (T-29th)
Parayko 11 (38th)

So what are the criteria?

Time on ice? Probably not. Only Makar, Sanheim and Morrissey are top-10 in the league there.
+/-? Nope. Only ones in the top ten are Makar, Toews & Doughty.
Scoring since 2020-21? Makar still tops and Morrissey is 2nd, but after that only Theodore and Toews are even in the conversation.

This feels like Armstrong grabbing his guy and the group just going by archetype after that. These aren't the best Canadian defencemen - not by a long shot. But they're the kind of defencemen that old hockey guys think SHOULD be the best.

"Thinking that a bad team's best players are the reason the team is bad is the "Tambellini re-signing Lennart Petrell" of sports opinions." @Woodguy55
