To be clear, I'm not a fan of the Muzzin/Holl pairing this year. But, the screaming about both having lost everything that made them a quality shutdown pairing last year...really? They may be less than they were, but that doesn't mean they are trash. It suggests the the team needs to adapt. Thankfully, Sandin and Liljegren are trending in a positive way. Dermott, who has developed less than I'd hoped is still an option and better than most in his 6/7 D position (as I see it at this time). Put Sandin with one of Dermott or Holl, try Liljegren with Muzz and lets see what we have. Don't knee jerk. If you can upgrade, sure, but we've got 7 D who I think can play at an NHL level, that's important, especially in the playoffs. If Rubin proves to be an 8th D who can manage minutes, we're ahead of the game. 25-30 games does not make a season. Unless there is an obvious upside, relax.
