Holmstrom.
Love him, but it’s true. He didn’t need to move.
Edit: obviously add Lidstrom to best defender
Larry Murphy?
Current it has to be Kane
Jonathon Ericsson ⚓️
Fetisov was brutally slow. It wasn’t more obvious because he played with elite talent all around him that could bail him out.
Larry Murphy was known as “The Human Pylon”
Vanek was painfully slow by the time we signed him…he just had enough skill to hide it a bit.
Dekeyser when he needed his hip surgery has to be up there as well. He was great positionally but flat out could not move to recover if the play broke down.
Last year Perron seemed so slow. When skating next to Larkin or Veleno he appeared to be going in slow motion
Dylan McIlrath
Harold Snepts. I loved watching Old Bald Harold play but his feet were encased in cement.
Perron (and supper the lidstrom change)
Current: Kane
All time: Yuri Butsayev
Holmstrom was slow as any NHL player but dude could plant and not be moved.
On the current team I think you can put half the defense on this list and not be wrong.
All time: Holmstrom ( with Mcillrath close second) Current: Kane?
If we’re talking NHL 95, Bob Rouse for sure.
Wendel Clark
Veleno over zadina for wasted potential? Hmmmm ok
Larry Murphy, I have memories of Bob Rouse slow as fuck too
