Who, exactly, are our 6 best defensemen? What metric do you use to achieve that outcome? Do you take into account the Tippett lefty/righty love?
For me;
Nurse-Barrie
Bouch-Bear
Lagesson-Larsson
I used the #MustyMetric to draw my conclusion on who to play as our top 6 (health pending).

There's going to be a lot of debate about this I'm guessing.
For me:
Nurse / Bear
Jones / Bouchard
Koekkoek / Barrie
I don't have Larsson or Russell in there, and probably rank Lagesson above them also. Like Tippet, I also value the RH/LH even distribution.

Agreed for the most part. I think Lagesson rivals Koekkoek and has higher upside. Larsson to me is also above Koekkoek, but the handedness is a bit of an issues - apparently none of the right shots have ever played much on their wrong wing (which makes sense - it's rare to have a group of six with more righties.)
If I could move Russell to free up cap space, I would do that immediately. I don't see any good reason to carry 9 defencemen on the roster and cap space could be really valuable to have for flexibility if a goalie does shake free.
I don't think that people should look at Bear, Jones and Lagesson as if they're too young to carry pairings too - it's a young man's league now and they've all been pros for years. We need them to step up.
