Lidstrom, and with Phaneuf picking up his game now, he is not far behind.

I'm with you, Nik Lidstrom's gotta be the best. But if Scott Niedermeyer started the season then he'd get my vote.

definatley Lidstrom. I don't know if anyone has heard of him, but Duncan Keith is a good young defensemen from Chicago. i predict in the future, hell be a top d-man.

Yea it's Lidstrom, there really isn't an arguement in my opinion.

As far as Chi town's young d-men, isn't Seabrook better/have a higher ceiling?

After it's neidemeyer(sp) in anaheim. When Lidstrom retires, it will probably be Phaneuf or Boumister(sp again) from Florida.

But seriously, Lidstrom. I'm also a huge fan of Markov.

I'd say Lidstrom, but it's hardly by far.

Lidstrom, he's one of the best defensivemen in NHL history...a HOF for sure. That being said, his age is getting up there...and there are others (like Niedermayer who was mentioned)
