Crap....I failed to notice DeAngelo wasn't ELC this season, despite the typical 925K contract which rookies get.
Great team, best I've seen so far. Only "weakness" is team toughness and defensive shutdown ability for tight checking close playoff style hockey.
You and I are on the same page. I was trying to figure out how to increase toughness without compromising an other area and I couldn't find a suitable solution. I'm just hoping, in this scenario, I'm going to need Couturier, Gallagher, Ek and Hedman to step up and add toughness when needed. I wanted players like Reaves and Sundqvist but they are way too expensive

Leafs Hyman is good on the forecheck and penalty kill. Edmonton has a couple cheap grinders as an option for Ennis.
