A big issue we are going to run into is defensive play come playoff time.

I’m personally not sold on Bear and TDA is obviously a third pairing/PP defenseman.

With Nino being a UFA at seasons end, I wonder if we could package him with someone like Ryan Suzuki to get a top four d-man with a little term.

As of right now I have no desire to keep Bear and I wouldn’t go more than $4.5M per year for TDA.

You are forgetting we have the top two defenseman in the league.

They can’t play all the time and it’s obvious that Bear is affecting Slavin’s play.

I’d be curious as to what Anaheim would want for Josh Manson.

Slavin - Pesce

Skjei - Manson

Cole - TDA

Smith - Bear

This is a defense I can get behind.

Was about to mention him, I think hes a UFA at the end of the year though. Pretty sure we were interested in him when Dougie got hurt.

The Kraken also have about 47 D-men, so maybe they would be willing to move one if they are out of contention.

I’ll also mention that I don’t hate Bear (he seems like a nice kid), he just looks like he struggles against higher end teams.

He chases the play here instead of staying home - result was a goal.

He loses a puck battle along the boards here - result was a goal

Screens Andersen here… if you aren’t going to block the shot at least make sure the goalie can see - result was a goal

Just really unimpressed with him tonight.

They were more hungry than we were. Plus without Pesce. We whopped their asses last season and they lost the last time to us in a game where they were gifted 13 penalties by the refs.

I expect our next two meetings to look much different. 
 

If we can take care of business tomorrow night and make sure we stay on the tracks going into our west coast trip, I’ll be happy.
