So they've been solid defensively. Ceci, Dumouling, and Edmundson area also all those type of dmen that have bad advanced stats, aren't great regular season dmen, but tend to be more effective in the playoffs.
Add Kadri and Panarin to add more offensive pop and you might have a shot.

Interesting. You're right there are some decent defensive dmen there with some toughness for playoffs. Modern NHL I always look at puck moving dmen and aside from Clarke it's pretty shallow with Doughty's production going down but if they're keeping the puck out of their own net that's massive.
