A list of the top 8 defensemen is subject to immense conjecture, but IMHO... 1. Bobby Orr (also the overall greatest hockey player, ever) 2. Doug Harvey 3. Larry Robinson 4. Nikolas Lidstrom 5. Eddie Shore 6. Red Kelly 7. Paul Coffey 8. Denis Potvin Honourable mention: I've left out Fetisov, who is in the Top 8 of all-time worldwide but the majority of his best years were not played in the NHL. Maybe Al MacInnis, Guy Lapointe to round out a top 10.
Orr, Coffey, Leetch, Potvin, MacInnis off the top of my head. Not sure if missing anyone.
1 Bobby Orr 2 Chris Pronger 3 Scott Nedyermier 4. Nick Lidstrom 5 Brian Leetch
Mario Lemieux
Note: there have only been 5 defensemen who scored 100 points in a single NHL season: Bobby Orr (6 times) Paul Coffey (5 times) Al MacInnis Brian Leetch Denis Potvin Another note: neither Phil Housley, Raymond Borque, nor Larry Murphy reached 100 points in a season, despite all being in the top 40 all time in NHL scoring.
