I went with Matthew and Brandon, but you can't really go wrong with Darnell.

I'd honestly take Fayne over Gryba.

Wut?

This is an insane claim. Gryba hits more, punches harder, thinks the game more efficiently, passes stronger, and plays better positionally than Fayne.

And Gryba doesn't do several of those things WELL! Lol

I'd take Davidson over Nurse, no question. Nurse has higher highs but lower lows as well. Davidson just plays a solid all-around game and is the one (of the two) I'd trust with minutes in important games. Nurse is still very raw, at his best this year he was really good, but he has also had prolonged stretches where he has looked out of place. I think he's likely being a little bit overrated here because he had a good stretch before the injury. Obviously long-term Nurse should overtake Davidson with ease, but right now I'd play Davidson (and Benning).

I didnt say the whole season, but before he got hurt he was.

Nurse is a legit NHL dman with more potential then any other dman we have. We will continue to play him.

Nurse's final 5 games before he got hurt he was averaging 16:41 minutes a night. Klefbom was averaging 21:27.

Nurse looked better in the first 25 games then Klefbom

Fact

No. That's an opinion. The above in bold is a fact.
