As an outsider its clear that you are still lacking an elite puck moving defenseman and will likely miss the playoffs until you find one despite your elite forward depth.
If I were your coach I'd be running the following D lines:
Sekera-Larsson
Fayne-Gryba
Davidson-Klefbom
Nurse
Sekera-Larsson is an elite 2nd line. Larsson may have potential but you still come up quite short.
Fayne-Gryba is just there to handle heavy minuites so your younger d can gain strength... If they are getting hurt they will never reach their potential
Klefbom-Davidson Neither of them are ready for 2nd line minutes, Klefbom has injury problems and both of them need to be sheltered. This should be an elite 3rd line but I'm guessing Klefbom gets put on the 1st line with Larsson which you will regret.
Nurse will soon be ready for top 4 minuites
Oesterle/Reinhart I wouldnt count on them.
Why would Klefbom need to be sheltered? When healthy he is perfectly capable of playing big minutes. How well he does in that role is yet to be determined but he is at least able to play adequately right now.
Ideally you want Sekera on as an anchor the second pairing. That is the role he is best suited for and the one he was really acquired to play.
