lindholm just recently came back from injury and doesn't appear to be 100% yet. when healthy our top 4 on defense will be excellent. I'd say our biggest issue on defense is how absolutely horrendous our forwards have been with all of the injuries. it has to be tough playing defense when your forwards can't ever hold the zone. plus, we have sorely been missing our shutdown line with Kesler. they've been excellent against top lines in years past.
I'm not worried at all about our top 4 d. only worried about bieksa beauch.
