"Mobility is the most important thing to playing D. When your team is mobile you can make mistakes and you can recover," Leaman said.
And that's where Darryl Sutter had his downfall after the obstruction changes. We dealt Lydman for a 3rd who was one of our most mobile defenders. Kept guys like Warrener and Sarich who had mobility issues.
Mobility on defense was a big part of why we surprised last year IMO.
