Exactly, not sure how this helps The Leafs? Deal has not gone through yet but I am banking on DJ Smith believes he can better utilize Zaitsev than Babcock did. Perhaps play him with Brannstrom on the 3rd pairing to start. Insulate those 2. The key is DJ Smith here. If I were Ottawa I would sign Hainsey who DJ knows well. Put him with Chabot and let him do what he did with Rielly in Toronto. Sens D would ironically start looking better than the Leafs if they did this.
You mean the same DJ Smith that was in charge of........the Leafs defense. That DJ Smith??
