That McCabe deal could easily turn out to be a problem if he doesn't recover properly.

I still have my concerns with this D, Joki isn't ready for top pairing minutes, Mete isn't anything more than a number 6 and Miller is the definition of inconsistency. I do like the addition of Ekholm tho, great job there
