@prohockeyrumors Itโs not the same without them included in best on best tournaments. They can ice a hell of a team that would definitely be in contention for a medal in future Olympics. Center depth might be an issue though.
@ShamsCharania Patrice Bergeron played in game 6 of the 2013 Stanley Cup final with the following:

@NHL โThe trophy is presented annually to the defenseman who demonstrates the greatest all-around ability at the position.โ
Going by that criteria, guys like Slavin & Forsling should be perennial finalists.
