You Vote: Best NHL Defenseman

It's Back!

The "You Vote: Best NHL Forward" series went great, as it was Alex Ovechkin walking away with the "Best NHL Forward According to Bleacher Report Award" just three days ago.

So in case you forgot, here is the way it works. Today I will give you a choice of 30 NHL defensemen, and you vote who will be in the top five (or less, depending on who gets a vote). You will get two days to vote for the top 5, and two days to vote for the winner. In about four days, the winner will be announced.
