Since Peckham reaggravated an injury, I dropped him for McQuaid, who's just returning from injury. At the moment my question is primarily looking at who to start without relying on my bench (max games), so please keep that in mind. I'm wondering who you suggest should be my starting six defensemen? I have eight in total, and suspect you could argue a case for all of them.

Point values: PIM=2, Hits=1, Blocked shots=1

Here are my eight, in current order of starters/bench (bottom two on bench for now). Points are last season's averages per game (considering missed games):

Girardi 5.3
Giordano 5.9
Seabrook 5.2
Robidas 5.2
S.Weber 5.3
McQuaid 5.6
Seidenberg 4.8
Polak 5.4

Which six do you like to start the season? Or if you prefer, which two would you keep on the bench for now?
