Ironically, defence wasn't half bad in the playoff round, it was our depth scoring/literally any scoring. We got shutout in 2 games and 56 minutes of game 4. We sucked ass defensively in the regular season though
With the two worst parts of our defence leaving in UFA (Ceci on the top pair and Barrie being generally awful), we're pretty set. Picking up a free agent and giving dermott one last shot at playing the right side/top 4 could be good.
The kappy trade shows that Dubas wants to shake up the bottom 6, inject some bite and experience - and according to many insiders, the leafs are really really determined to get Reilly an above average defence partner.
That and a shakeup in net, we should be good without any earth-shattering trades
