Our defense has been better this season, and a lot of it I think has to do with his system and finally having a defensive minded d-man in Methot. When I watch the games this year I keep having the feeling that if we acquired one more high +/- it might have a positive ripple effect on our core. Hamhuis was brought in to be this and Oleksiak might have that upside but they aren't producing that right now.
Right now, I don't feel Hitch has the confidence in a player other than Methot he can pair with a negative +/- player to balance out their risk taking/puck moving play style.
