NHL Network has made it an annual tradition to rank the top players in the league at each position — top 20 for centers, wingers and defensemen and top 10 for goalies. As is the case with virtually everything on social media, the lists are very much up for debate.
Utah Mammoth fans will notice the absence of Mikhail Sergachev from the top defensemen list, which was published Sunday evening.
Sergachev placed No. 18 in 2025, so this year's rankings beg the question: Did Sergachev get worse, or did others simply get better?
Here are some factors to consider — some affirming the league's ranking and others refuting it. The conclusion is up to the individual reader to determine.
Sergachev isn't a 75-plus-point guy like the names at the top of the list, but he is consistently just outside the top 10 in points among NHL defensemen.
