I never said that we didn't need his talent level or that he couldn't play on the team, I'm concerned what we do with the barrage of kids knocking on the door.
We already don't have the room to play them all each night. If we add one more defensemen that takes away yet another spot to develop a kid. And we have more D prospects coming.
Someone would have to be moved or loaned in order to make enough playing time so that the younger guys see ice time at least on a semi-regular basis.
