Our defence is a mess.

 

It is a mess when everyone is healthy and playing… it is horrific once you take out some bodies.

 

OEL is the only guy playing like a top 4 calibre player… then a bunch of 3rd pairing or AHL guys.

We have three players playing Top 4 minutes, and a rotating cast of depth D trying to make up the slack. 

 

This is ironically the reverse of Benning's past roster construction errors, where he overpays one forward who could easily have been two value players. In this case, he's trying to fill in the Tanev void with a bunch of depth guys, in a position where serviceable players are more scarce.

With no Hamonic, Poolman and Schenn, our next game could like this:

 

OEL-Myers

Hughes-Burroughs

Rathbone-Bowey

Hopefully our forwards wake up, because if that's our D for any length of time we'll have to outscore our problems 

 

The thought of that group trying to PK is scary

Eye-test, imho, Hughes is playing great. Stats-wise, apparently, Myers and OEL are one of the top shutdown lines in the league.

Damn. Why not give Jett Woo a shot?!

 

He is billed as a heavier guy who is not afraid to throw a hard body check...

 

What's gone wrong with his development so far?

 

Is skating or confidence the issue?

Or they don't want to ruin him until they get things worked out?
