Fayne is a second pairing dman on most teams. Teams like NYR, Calgary and Nashville he would be lower but those are elite defensive teams.How many bottom pairing d-men do we have now? Ference, Fayne (on a good team), Gryba, Schultz (he's just not top 4 and shouldn't handle those minutes against hard comps).. Basically everyone but Klefbom, which is sad considering 15/16 will be his second full season.
Ference should be moved and Schultz I think could handle top 4 minutes if he had a left handed Fayne to play with. At the end of the summer if we still have Ference, Nikitin and Schultz then yeah it was dumb. But if we move those 3 out then it was for the better. That and Gryba is a RHD which we don't have many of.
