Like centres, the best ones just aren't available. Even a young secondary prospect defenceman isn't easy to acquire. There seems to be a shortage at the moment and that's why we had to go to Europe to sign a 27 year old who we hope can fill a spot.
and luckily for us there a few defencemen right at our #15 pick, so it isn't a stretch to take one.
