I care about Juulsen and Kulak cause I think they are still growing and improving from where they are today. I rather have Juulsen and Kulak in the bottom 4 vs Ouellet, Alzner, Reilly, Schlemko. It was pretty clear how bad our D was in that 2 week span when Juulsen got hurt and Weber was not back yet. Price was exposed big time. When our D stabilized, our shutdown ability and GAA improved.
Having a bunch of guys that skate well but are outmatched physically in their own end or have lack of foot speed is not a recipe for success. Talk to the Leafs about that one.
Not talking about the old Shutdown D type. Talking about the new type. I like Juulsen and Kulak in the line-up and I agree with Julien and his coaching staff.
One day you will learn to pick your spots with prospects. Remember when you were putting McCarron in your little lists?
