La laughs and mcquaid is garbage. The leafs dont need defense depth, they need to be properly utilized. Muzzin-barrie is a very good 1st pair, morgan rielly is a 1st pair defenseman who should be playing on the 2nd pair, dermott is a good 2nd pair defenseman. Sandin is legitimately a top 4/ second pairing defenseman. That leaves liljegren or holl to be a #6 defenseman but they are/can be solid #5's.
That leaves them with a good 1st pair, a good 2nd pair and a very good 3rd pair. I dont know where people get the idea that the leafs defense is bad, they just need to be properly used
