...
9. Dion Phaneuf, $6.8m (2013-2017)

...

Dion ranked in the 30's this yr in D scoring but 9th in cap hit for defense, should be much better next yr when they ship him off to a contender!

[jackdaniels]

Torey Krug at 5.9m is worth every penny!

[PigsRule]

In the NHL in 2014-15, the Top 5 D earned these base salaries.

Shea Weber earned 14 Million.
Ryan Suter earned $11m.

There will be new members of the $4+ million Club for Defense!

There will be new members of the $4+ million Club for Defense!

List was missing OEL, he would slot in at #23    His resign will cost him top 5 @ 7M.

List was missing OEL, he would slot in at #23    His resign will cost him top 5 @ 7M.

I think he's a bargain right now at 5.6m
Slotted him into the original list up top

26. Duncan Keith, $5.5m (2010-2018)

One of the inherited original contracts in this league. There are about 5-6 of them out there (2010-18).
