1. Erik Karlsson
– Coming in at # 1 for me is Ottawa’s superstar Erik Karlsson. His offensive and skating ability is unmatched by any defenceman in the league IMO but he does need to improve defensively just a tad. Last season for the Sens he scored 20 times and had 54 assists for 74 points which is unbelievable for a defenceman. The thing that’s even more unbelievable is the fact that during the 2011-2012 season he put up 78 points. Incredible talent and that’s why he’s my # 1 defenceman in the Atlantic Division.
