Yeah, I would argue that you can only afford to have 2 purely defensive d-men in the lineup these days and be a championship team. Usually, the top 4 of the best teams all can move the puck well with passing or skating with the puck. At most, you can have one more pure defensive guy in the top 4, but that's about it if you want to win it all. It's too hard to score with just the forwards these days in the playoffs.
