I mean Larsson is a very good one dimensional defense, Klefbom is pretty good, but I think he's getting over rated. But outside of that, and especially with Sekera gone forever that defense isn't that good. Talbot is your best player behind the blueline and disguise how weak it is. Frankly its a lottery team blueline.
