I disagree.
If the draft were held right now:
The Isles would have to leave one of Hamonic, Leddy, Boychuk or De Haaan exposed.
The Preds would have to leave one of Weber, Josi, Ekholm or Ellis exposed
The Ducks would have to leave one of Fowler, Lindholm, Vatanen or Depres exposed
The Bolts would have to leave one of Hedman, Stralman, Garrison or Sustr exposed
Take the worst guy off all those lists and you have a pretty good top 4 defense, and that's just off the top of my head, and not even digging into forwards.
De Haan - Ellis
Depres - Sustr
I'd take that as a rebuilding defense any day.
