Yeah, I have said it and still believe - Ducks defense is above league average for sure. I really liked Gudy and seeing him go is sad, but as I said - I see a reasoning behind it, which is pretty much what you pointed out. We really have a good depth there on the D, which might end up losing 1 or 2 of those guys in wavers, at the worst case. But whatever, we should be able to keep the best pieces.
Agreed regarding a scorer. The UFA period is not over and there should be some players going around between now and start of the season, so we might see something there. I also expect Steel and Terry to improve their goalscoring this year. They were playing a lot of minutes but really did not score that much. I think they were getting close.
