The complete lack of movement and offensive ability on the blue line stood out to me last night. Gio is now our only defender in the top 50 in league dman scoring (37th). Over seven years, Treliving has built a d corps of stationary shin pad snipers well suited for the league twenty years ago. He's done so by losing one of the most dynamic blue line puck movers the team has ever developed for nothing and burying another promising one for the past 5 years. Great team management and philosophy all around.
