We have 3-4 forwards who are bonafide first liners already. And not just a poor mans' first line either.
We have 5 defensemen who could all play top 3, and a great pipeline now thanks to Brad.
I'm not worried about shelling out the dough on defense. Pay them what they deserve, because having a solid defense is so important in the playoffs
