Quoting: CD282
?? Larsson is only 1 guy too. Does Tampa have 3-4 guys like that? Colorado? Vegas? Florida? I don't see whatever it is that you're seeing.
Tampa had Hedman, McDonagh, Sergachev, Rutta, Cernak, Schenn, Savard - good mix of skill and toughness
Tampa had Hedman, McDonagh, Sergachev, Cernak, Schenn, Shattenkirk, Bogosian - again good mix of skill and toughness
I would call Cernak, Schenn, Savard/Bogosian "toughness". That's like half their dmen.
I won't use Colorado, Vegas, or Florida since they have not won a cup.
The Oilers have: Nurse (Oilers took physicality out his game), Bouchard, Barrie, Keith, Ceci - all I would consider onn the skill side more than the toughness side. And our 6th dman who is a combination of Russell, Koekkoek? I would say would fall more in skill than toughness. I don't see any dman on this list that'll make it harder on the boards.
