You'd think the greasers would have been all over that, an actual defenceman who can play defence
They don't have a place in their brains for that concept. Remember, it's still the 1980s in Mulletland, and the word ‘defenceman’ means ‘Paul Coffey imitator’.

Anaheim legit could use him, to run a four vet/two young player pairing scheme this year. I think that they are trying to ice a competitive team, and if the first and second year players down the middle pop, they could be an interesting team to watch. Henrique/Strome/Zegras/Lundstrom/McTavish down the middle. Kulikov slips into the five spot on defense to protect Drysdale or Vaakinienen.
