The toughness part is right, but truth is our D is in shambles bc Marino is the only real carryover from last year except Siegenthaler, and our team D got worse as well.UNlike Rossi, Holtz didn't have to deal with a life threatening condition which wiped out a year of development. Holtz has also been less productive than Rossi, and if you watch nay NJD games, less impressive. Bottom line, to me is that his feet are still pretty slow.
All that aside, MN is in no position to trade their top pairing Dman, especially with Spurgeon out for the year.
Also, us having to send our 2nd(likely a high one) back in return for their later 1st is simply ridiculous.
I don't follow NJD that much, but while any team can use a guy like Brodin, and he would certainly help them, isn't their main need goaltending and some toughness?
Any avg goaltender would get lit up so unless we get a little D help.
