The NHL Network has continued its annual preseason positional ranks with the top-20 defensemen heading into the 2022-23 season.
After an absolutely amazing season, it's no surprise that Cale Makar of the Colorado Avalanche comes in at number one. Makar racked up the hardware in 2021-22, with a Norris Trophy, Conn Smythe and a Stanley Cup. He did all a defenseman can, and only at 23 years old.
However, following Makar is where it gets interesting. You have the two-way threats like Roman Josi, Adam Fox and Victor Hedman, or the elite defensive defensemen like Charlie McAvoy, Jaccob Slavin and Miro Heiskanen.
So, how does the rest of the top-20 rank? Find out below:
