I don't see much to complain about with our defense 1 through 5.

It's that money (and roster spots) being spent on Brouwer and Stajan that's a real detriment right now.
I still like Hamonic and I like his cap hit. But I'm not convinced that he was worth what we gave up for him especially if we were signing Stone as well. But I understand the logic and hope it works out. I'll suspend judgment but I don't think it's beyond debate that we couldn't have shored up the club elsewhere. The fact that we burned up so many picks for these moves creates a legitimate expectation that they will make the club significantly better. Still lots of time to establish that but I can't blame people for being a little sceptical so far. I felt the same way about Smith but at this early point in the season, Treliving appears to have hit a homerun on that one.

Treliving seemed to have a vision for what he wanted for this season. Time will tell if he made the right moves or not.
