i havnt watched the last couple of games but wait until medvedev is back before betting on philly lol
no hes not the savior of the franchise or anything but with him out we got the same d as last year and they suck
neuvirth may have even stole the #1 job for now too he got 2 starts in a row im not sure whos starting in winnipeg
Cause Mason was sick yesterday. They had a WHLer as backup. Medvedev helps because he can move the puck, but he's no more than a 4th dman on a team.
Hell, just to give you an idea, we traded Coburn last year, arguably our #1-#2 dman, to Tampa. On Tampa he is a low #6-#7 in TOI. We're left with borderline #2 dmen in Streit and MDZ then all #5-6 with the rest of our D.
Started the year strong but now it's catching us that we have a mediocre D. I'd call St-Louis, see if we can make a deal around Shattenkirk now that Parayko looks to be legit. Something like Simmonds + Hagg maybe
