I probably agree on the defensive part. We’ll see how it goes. You can’t have everything I guess.
Our Achilles is lack of scoring and a horrible powerplay. We traded something we had in surplus to help in those areas.

Three good forward penalty killers aren't going to cut it. Especially, when one of them is the one in the box. Mangiapane is decent and could possibly be considered good and I'm sure he'll be called on more than he has been. I believe he (and Dube) were looked upon more as the third forward pairing. I wouldn't be surprised to see Pospisil get a look due to his speed and aggressive play but does he have the defensive IQ required?
