The defense is going to continue to be the weak spot. I'm sorry I'm not a fan of bringing back basically the same D minus yandle. It's not enough to be a contender. We better score a ton of goals to have a chance.
I have to agree. Defense was by far our most glaring issue last year and no signs show me they will be improved next year.
Even with Ekblad in the lineup they still routinely had to put up 4 goals to win. This same group will struggle again this year.
I was really hoping with the addition of Reinhart that Vatrano would get moved for some defensive help. Doesn't look like that will happen but we are dangerously thin on the left side of our defense.
Not sure what their plan is at this point but this defense will not cut it and we all know it, I assume Zito does too.
