Even with that....... that retannered mofo doesn't have Burns on that god forsaken list. He said Karlsson is the 2nd best defenseman of the last 30 years. I don't know about you guys, but since 1985 I would take Lidstrom, Pronger, Stevens, Niedermayer, Coffey, Leetch, Borque etc. Right now I could name 10 active defensemen over him. Guy is just trolling for hits. Plus he's obviously really gay for Swedes. |

No Weber, Suter, McDonagh, Seabrook or anybody that doesn't play like a 4th forward will ever be on his list. Even with that....... that retannered mofo doesn't have Burns on that god forsaken list. Burns is far from a top ten defender. |

Burns just has the physical edge and size and aggression that Green doesn't seem to use. To me Burns is way better than Green....... Green is half the player he used to be. Lets not forget the only defenseman to outscore Burns this year was Karlsson. Now with Martin as his parnter Burns has a real good chance at the Norris this season he finished 4th this past year. |

Agree here, Green is very one dimensional, and his one dimension isn't really that amazing. |
