The Winnipeg Jets feature Josh Morrissey, Jacob Trouba and Dustin Byfuglien on the blueline. Now, the man affectionately known as Big Buff is obviously quite the physical force, and he’s listed at a conservative 6’5, 265lbs.

That being said, some undersized defenseman are making waves. The aforementioned Karlsson, Ryan Ellis, Shayne Gostisbehere, etc.
