I wouldn't say we have a log jam on D. I think we have 6 NHL defencemen and then a few other ones we hope can be NHL D if needed. Sure, our 6 NHL D are top-4 on most other teams, meaning some will be playing below where they should be playing... but we still only have 6 NHL D. I see no value in getting rid of any of them.

I keep harping on this, but I'd rather trade #3C Backlund for a #2RW and then give Dube the 3C spot. Maybe we throw in a pick and/or a prospect not named Pelletier, Coronato, Zary or Wolf to make it happen, but so be it.
