[Suburban Rhythm]

I still sometimes visit HF, and a current thread that I thought was a pretty good debate-

Which "top" 3 would you take on defense (assuming everyone healthy):

Gonchar/Whitney/Orpik vs Markov/Komisarek/Hamrlik.

IMO, in order:

1) Gonchar
2) Markov
3) Hamrlik
4) Orpik
5) Komisarek
6) Whitney

I think Gonchar is easily the #1 of that group, Hamrlik by far the most underrated, Whitney (by far) the biggest question mark. You can argue either way Oprik vs Komi, flip them #4 and #5, both are hitters, Komi a better shot blocker, Orpik a better skater. Neither is great with the puck.

Even as a Pens fan, I've got to say the Montral trio, overall, but I thought that was a pretty good topic for debate.
