Agreed. I don’t know how the narrative that they’re bad defensemen got started, but it wasn’t supported by what I saw from them this past season. Both had growing pains, but that was to be expected.
Even Fitz isn’t stupid enough to trade either of them. Any GM asking if they’re available deserves to be hung up on.
Agree, but on the other hand... they couldn't possibly look more pathetic than the Caps and Islanders do.
But getting knocked out by the Rangers or Canes 4-0/1/2 wouldn't have been fun.
