There's tons of good D in the 2-15 range.

Levshunov, Dickinson, Parekh, Buuim, Silayev. After that there's still guys like Mews, Kiviharju, Jiricek. Its a pretty good draft for D men.

For sure. I would like to see them take one out of that top 5 and that likely means top 10. Looking at the standings it wouldn't be hard to get there, especially with a deadline sell.

Not sure how interested the Canes would be in Binnington if he were made available.

Probably dont even need to sell Buch to get there. Our secondary scoring has been nonexistent.

Welcome aboard the ship, let's take on some water. Admittedly this was a really tough part of the schedule, but it feels like the past 2 games mark the end of the new coach bump. This team is just low on talent and unable to outscore the elephant-in-the-room top 4 defense. Like @AC14 said, the depth beyond the top line is just not there. And we've been waiting for the special teams to show up but we're now past the halfway point and it's still a bottom 3 PP. It could've gone either way this season, but now the important thing is that it goes either way. Don't finish in 17th place for the love of God.

I know the defense sucks, but I would also point out that the forwards suck as well. Luckily that should be remedied somewhat quick.
