Paris’ Pietrangelo tops another list

/ August 3, 2015

(This is a continuation of a story published earlier today on the league’s best all-around players through the first half of the season. The previous story focused on forwards, while this lists defensemen.)

Last year’s league MVP, Alex Pietrangelo, is the best all-around defenseman in the league according to AAR rating. That means the best all-around forward (Mikko Koivu) and defenseman play on the same team.

Behind Pietrangelo are unheralded Roman Polak of Madrid and Karl Alzner of Stockholm.

Here is a list of the best all-around defensemen so far this season:
