Thread: Post all star break with Muzzin no Rielly Mike Green trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PleaseBanMeForMyOwnGood</b></div><div>I wonder how long it will take for the average fan to understand the difference between an old school stay at home defenceman and a new age two way defensive defenceman. I am not saying Mike Green is a good two way guy, I am not sure he is. However, the mentality that TO needs some big, stay at home physical guy because you can't win without one is so off base in this era that it shocks me so many people still call for one. Every team would happily have 6 two way defenceman. Guys who can skate very well, make very good passes and handle the puck and push it up ice. Its such a fluid game in this day and age and if you can't skate and handle the puck, you can't really do anything. Go after guys who are sound defensively and can keep the puck in the hands of your team. When you have the puck all the time, you can't get scored on.</div></div>

Exactly. Toronto has too many finesse defenders.
