Can I get a non biased opinion on every defender? I'll post what I've thought, but I'm a Leafs fan soo, what do I know :p
Murray - Surprised by how much offense he brings, I expected a very steady defenseman, I got that and a little offense on the side.
Harrington - Steady, strong defensively, good positioning, he reads the play well, but
I've seen him get beat 1v1 a couple of times.
Rielly - Not as flashy as I originally expected, very smart, great passer and good speed, much stronger on defense then given credit for, but he could use his strength a bit more. (6.1 and 199lbs)
Murphy - Incredibly gifted offensively and a phenomenal skater, but he does come with his downsides. He needs sheltered minutes on the power play and against weaker forwards, very lackluster defensive play and doesn't think the defensive game very well.
Pelech - Quiet, he's a Harrington-lite.
Dumba - Where are the bigs hits? Good skater, he wants the puck on the PP, he has a good shot, solid defensively, but we haven't seen the offensive game that he can bring.
Ceci - He's okay, he makes some questionable pinches, it doesn't help that he's a sub par skater either. Brings a little physicality which is nice, but I haven't seen enough from him yet.
Hamilton - Definitely not playing the game he's been so praised of playing. He's been good, but I don't see anything that stands out, he's good at everything, but nothing is off the charts.
Reinhart - (We haven't seen much, but I do like the way he plays, simple, but effective)
