Assuming no other D are moved, the positive is that there's a lot of bodies for Sutter to pick from to find the best mix.

Going with this D core would be a huge gamble though. You're banking on one of the young D (Valimaki, Mackey, Kylington) to take a step into being a #4 and/or Sutter making Gudbranson and Stone look like NHL defensemen.

But if (big if) Eichel is coming back though I can live with it, and hope that Sutter gets the D to be greater than the sum of its parts.
What an offensive black hole the Defense will be. May as well go with 5 Forwards on the PP
