from Larry Brooks of the NY Post,
In the post-Bobby Orr Era, we have 12 all-time defensemen: Leetch, Stevens, MacInnis, Denis Potvin, Larry Robinson, Ray Bourque, Nicklas Lidstrom, Chris Chelios, Scott Niedermayer, Paul Coffey, Borje Salming and Rob Blake.
Our first-team defense features Potvin, Robinson, Bourque, Stevens, Lidstrom and Leetch. Our second team includes Chelios, Coffey, Niedermayer, Salming, MacInnis and Blake.

Niedermayer should be first team.
He has won every trophy there is, and is a natural leader whose teams play tough as hell.
He is not given enough credit, perhaps because he is such a quiet, reserved guy.
