As a whole. Yes absolute rubbish and it shows on the ice. We're completely immobile, can't pass the puck to our forwards, can't clear the puck out of the zone to save our lives, don't defend, don't score, we're slow, old, and non physical. Except for Hughes and a touch of OEL of course.
Like the rest of our squad we're a poor hockey team with some amazing players who pull out a game all on their own from time to time.
Perhaps BB can do something with a training camp but he had no magic recipes last year. Simply teaching Myers to not handle the puck and just dump it out when in our own third would be a huge start imo.
The good news is fixing the d can be done in relatively few moves. We've got 3 of 7 spots covered. The bad news is you need cap space or assets to do it.
I firmly believe your defenceman need to be able to play defense.
