Doobster's dman depth chart (when healthy),

#1 - Letang
#2 - Martin
#3 - Orpik
#4 - Niskanen
#5 - Maatta
#6 - Despres
#7 - Bortuzzo
#8 - Engelland

That's how it should be in the Doobster's opinion.

I only disagree with Letang. Martin is our best defensemen, no questions asked. Letang has the highest ability/potential, and the lowest IQ/sense it seems. I'm a Bortuzzo fan-girl of sorts (not in the "he's dreamy" way, but the "he's freaking awesome and I see no wrong" way), so I want to see him in the lineup. I think there's a chance he may be moved though, more as a favor to him than for the team itself. He deserves play time in the NHL. I'm NOT a fan of Engo, but he's playing well and right NOW deserves a spot in the lineup, and Despres has been fantastic in this call-up, so I don't know if he'll be sent down. Also, you forgot Scuds.

My list:

1. Martin
2. Scuds
3. Letang
4. Orpik
5. Maatta
6. Niskanen
7. Despres
8. Bortuzzo
9. Engelland

So, you can see there's an issue here. Needs to be resolved at some point.
