Defense
Ryan Pulock: 24 points (6 goals, 18 assists) – 49 games
Pace: 40 points (10 goals, 30 assists)
Pulock has 40 point defenseman written all over him. He’s been the Isles number one d-man for two years and it’s easy to see why.
Devon Toews: 18 points (4 goals, 14 assists) – 49 games
Pace: 30 points (7 goals, 23 assists)
It’s been a bit of a sophomore slump for Devon Toews but 30 points from a $700,000 defenseman is rather nice.
Nick Leddy: 18 points (3 goals, 15 assists) – 41 games
Pace: 32 points (5 goals, 27 assists)
Nick Leddy has been much better this year compared to the past two years. Since Adam Pelech has gone down, Leddy’s been solid with Ryan Pulock.
Scott Mayfield: 13 points (5 goals, 8 assists) – 48 games
Pace: 22 points (8 goals, 14 assists)
Scott Mayfield is a solid stay at home guy. If he’s giving you 20+ with a steady 20 minutes a night you sign up for that any day of the week.
Johnny Boychuk: 10 points (2 goals, 8 assists) – 48 games
Pace: 17 points (3 goals, 14 assists)
Boychuk is nowhere near the seam player he once was and that’s okay. Johnny is now a solid third pairing d-man who should get 15-17 minutes a night.
Noah Dobson: 5 points (1 goal, 4 assists) – 22 games
Pace: 15 points (3 goals, 12 assists)
Noah Dobson was thrust into a starting role and has been fairly good. I’d like to see him get more than 13 minutes a night but it’s been a solid effort from him so far.
