It has to be Kaberle or Ohlund because those guys are actually #1 defensemen when the others uh... aren't.

I picked Brewer but was tough choice between him and Ohlund. I think both could step up a fair bit this year as well.

For me, it came down to Norstrom, Ohlund and Kaberle. I ended up taking Norstrom, but its really a three-horse race. They're completely different blueliners, so its very hard to judge. Kaberle's all offence, Ohlund has good offence, good defence and a physical edge, and Norstrom is a classic, nasty, stay at home defenceman, who is a true leader. Three different players.

Brewer in my opinion isn't at the level. I consider myself an Oilers fan (although not before my Sens of course), but I don't think Brewer's a #1 d-man yet. Honestly, I think the guy's a bit over-rated.

I gave my vote to Kaberle, but Norstrom and Ohlund are very very close to him. At this point, it's pretty much the one you prefer. Damn me, I chose a Leafs defensemen!

He played for Team Canada at the 2002 olympics at the age of 22 and you think he's overrated ? Canuck fans these days !

I agree with him though, and the Oilers are my second favourite team. Brewer in my opinion is not a #1 defenceman right now. Didn't Steve Staios get the nod as either MVP or Best defenceman (or both) from the Oilers last year, and not Brewer. The guy's a good defenceman, but he's not at #1 blueliner, not yet at least. Just because he made Team Canada doesn't mean everything. You'd have a tough time convincing me Brewer is a better player than Wade Redden right now.

Yup, and Brewer playing on Team Canada was Kevin Lowe convincing Gretz.

There were far better defenceman than Brewer that got left off the 2002 team.

I agree Brewer isn't close to becoming a #1 defensemen yet when Ohlund can be (even though he is trapped behind Jovo) and Kaberle is the Leafs defense. I voted for Kaberle orginally in this pole because I think he is very good at defense (underrated) and also is an offensive force when Ohlund is just as good at D, a little behind Kaberle on offense, but he also has a good physical side. When I first saw this pole I though it had to be Kaberle or Ohlund but for some odd reason Brewer won.
