I still feel signing Chara to a 1 year deal and spreading minutes throughout the pairings would be a great sneaky signing if Treliving could make it work.
Chara - Tanev
Hanifin - Andersson
Zadarov - Valimaki
Kylington/Kinvall

I don't know if Chara could handle top pair min now but he's a HOF so maybe? Yes I think our very young D (the hardest position - and young guys!!) need some serious support.
I think last year expectation and the subsequent pressure (internally or externally supplied - not to mention COVID protocols) was too great last season. They need strong support this year.
