And we had forwards that were begging for a puck mover to get them the puck with speed. Imagine these young D being able to feed Kovy and Zach. It's a total 180...
This young D would be rendered irrelevant with Kovalchuk playing 25 minutes a night, starting every rush and taking a point on the PP for a full 2 minutes. Kovalchuk leaving was the biggest opportunity for the entire defense...and you saw the returns immediately with Greene producing from the very point Kovalchuk occupied. Not to mention the opportunity it opened for Gelinas.
