Seth Jones is in over Zaitsev all day everyday. And Vlasic should in on LD too.

Both aren't great, but for the cap hit and better defensive responsibility Zaitsev over Jones everyday.

What exactly was the point in this? When was the last time you watched Zaitsev? Playing less games & minutes this year has helped him somewhat but come on man , let’s stay in reality here.

Vlasic - Jones is the best pairing out of both teams, and they are probably the best defensemen individually as well. Stat lines do not tell the whole story, bud. Also, considering what you did to the roster here, it should probably be the Anaheim Blackducks.

On his worst day Jones is a better defender than Zaitsev. He's probably a better defender than Murphy and Gudas too. And Vlasic is an easy choice over Zellweger. As for "saving cap" you don't need 7 healthy scratches. Get rid of 4 or 5.
