Starting to get the feeling you don't know much about hockey if you think the leafs dcore was bad.
Rielly-Brodie
Muzzin-Holl
Dermott-Bogosian
Was comparable to many top defensive units in the NHL heck finished 7th last season in a division that had Mcdavid and Draisaitl. But keep telling yourself that if it makes yah feel any better
Every leaves fan when you call the what it is.
"you don't know anything about hockey...."
You're worse than Mike Milbury announcing a bruins game.
The D core is bad, and as hard as it is for a part of the team to be worse, that LW sure as hell is.
PS no defense with Holl playing in the 2nd pairing is good. The 3rd pair is awful.
When 2 out of 3 pairs sucks, your defense sucks.
Been a pretty solid add, through managing his practices and letting him rest he so far has stayed healthy
Also being reunited with his junior buddy Kampf and his Anaheim line mate Ritchie has made for a solid 3rd line that does a bit of everything
Actually, every time I've seen the Leafs play this season (about 7 games), it's been Engvall with Kampf and Kase. That's the one line that seems to have been constant throughout the whole season so far, but that means it's working, so your point is still valid.

When they played against the Islanders and a bit against the penguins they moved Engvall to the 4th line and put Ritchie on the third which created more scoring opportunities for both Kampf, Kase and even Ritchie himself. Their numbers even though they have only played 2 games have been better so far than when Engvall was there

I stand corrected. I didn't see the Islanders game but I saw that they were together last night before Kampf got hurt. Anything to get Ritchie going. The Hurricanes are having the same problem with Kotkaniemi. They've tried everything from first line LW to fourth line C. Engvall looked pretty effective on his new line too.
