Ranking the top 10 defensemen in the NHL heading into 2026-27!

Who are the top 10 defensemen in the NHL entering the 2026-27 season? On this episode of Locked On NHL, Nick Zararis (Locked On Oilers) and Hunter Hodies (Locked On Penguins) break down their definitive player rankings ahead of the new campaign. They start with some honorable mentions who didn't make the cut before getting into their lists, and there are some differences.

Where do Hunter and Nick have Miro Heiskanen ranked? What about Rasmus Dahlin? Are there any newcomers to their lists from last year? Does one of them put Quinn Hughes ahead of Cale Makar? All that, plus much more, is on this edition of Locked On NHL.
