Not so sure about that. Not knocking Kron at all, but he benefited greatly by playing with #5. Honestly, he's looking solid, but a 2 or 3 best. Not overly impressive at all. If there is one coming, it may be Danny D!

Name 29 D men better than Kronwall. He's a number one. He may not be Lidstrom, but anyone who thinks he's not a "#1" gets an eyeroll from me.

AN EYEROLL TO YOU! GOOD DAY SIR!

Kronwall 8th in the league in points for Dmen. Only 2 have a better +/- and that's Keith and Pietrangelo. If anyone thinks Kronwall isn't a #1 Dman, especially playing with a lower quality blue line than we're used to, is crazy. And as far as points go, he's only 3 behind Subban for 5th overall.

I couldn't agree more than Kronner is a #1, and those are some great points to back it up. Those who think he's not are just used to seeing Lids ridiculously good D back there and anything less isn't seen by them as a #1 on this team.

Question is what do you expect from a No. 1 D-Man that Kronwall hasn't ?

There are generational players like Lidstrom, Orr, Shore, and Harvey.

Then there are elite guys like Pronger, Chara, Konstantinov, and Suter.

Then there are #1 guys. They're not elite/top 5 or 6 in the league guys, but they're better than 90% of the other defensemen in the league. Kronwall falls into this group.

Name 25 defensemen who are better than Kronwall. Not about the same, or "maybe you can make an argument about it," clearly better. If you can do it I will change my sig to whatever you want for a month.

The bar was raised so high that only Bobby Orr could reach it. And out of the guys that are above Kronwall on that list, the only guys I'd take above him as our #1 guy are Pietrangelo or maybe Keith. And to add to that, Byfuglien is now a forward, so his stats could be elsewhere making Kronner #7 in points at D.

We all love Danny D, but he's been a bit off since his injury as well. Kronwall back there is one of the main reasons we're hanging on to a playoff spot along with Z's masterful leadership. He's a big calming influence on guys like DD and Smith. If you watch every game, it's easy too see.
