The Leafs drafted Reilly, Marner and Matthews in the top-5, all franchise cornerstones - contrast them with our top-5 whiffs Galchenyuk and Kotkaniemi. Subban is the only real star we've drafted during my two decades plus as a Habs fan.
I’ll bite on that one
I can still defend Weber, and the D, because on the goals I saw (didn’t watch the whole game) it seems like the forwards are not supporting the D
wingers up high or near the boards pinning an adversary or covered and the center skating around in circle and late on the play
Also, forwards seemed to be waiting for the puck and hitting center ice from a stopped position; resulting in a turnover, so the D were staying back and not joining the rush
lack of structure and lack of F support exposes slower D like Weber
That’s why unless we have a real good playoffs, I think we need to totally rebuild the D. Keep Petry and Romanov and tear down the rest. There maybe teams that need to move a good dman before the expansion draft. Would Dumba, Ellis, Ekholm, Dunn, be possibilities as guys that couldn’t be protected?
