Who makes the cut on the backend?

Diaz has had a good preseason so I expected this

Diaz just needs to be paired with Smid. Russell seems to have found decent chemistry with Engelland.

What a strange thing to post. Are you inferring that Diaz has a disagreeable personality or just that he is lesser evil of poor choices?

Guess what, I was referring to his play as well. I voted for him just because he's probably the only reasonable option left although I'm not happy with a defenceman who isn't much good at defence. In good news Wotherspoon is back skating so I'd prefer that option if he's healthy.

The question states "Who will make the cut ....", not who do we like and my prediction is Diaz. Who we like has nothing to do with it.
