I'm not afraid to call this defensive core one of the best in the league now. I know points arn't everything but 4 defensemen in the top 30 in the league points wise is pretty impressive, with Russell not far behind in the mid-40s I think. With the leadership of Gio and the work ethic on both sides of the ice I think all 5 are of a high quality.

My only reservation is the Bowmeester - Phanuef "best defense in the league" fiasco. They look great on paper but I hope (and with Gio in charge I am fairly confident) that it won't play out like they did.
