There is no escape. These kids need to be solid top 4 D all year long. Really looking forward to seeing our PP with its first legit offensive RHD. There really is no escape from it. Koekkoek could perhaps slide up to the second pair and #KowboyKruss slides into the third pair but eeek. You know what. I believe. LFG!

LFG buddy!

IMO Kookoo is the right choice to pair with Barrie, Barrie can carry the puck, go on offensive excursions, KK has decent wheels and knows how to play D, KK can handle the physicality roll on the pairing, Russell is tough as nails but just not the right match with Barrie IMHO. This is a good sign for me, it shows that Tippet is not afraid to make the correct roster changes even if it rocks the status quo..

I also like Jones/Larsson combo, pretty complimentary skill sets.. interested to see what a healthy Larsson looks like out there.. its been so long..

P. Chiarelli math.. T. Hall = A. Larsson, Yak= bag o'pucks (OK he got one right...) K. Russell = $4.1 M+NMC, G. Reinhart= M. Barzal + A. Beauvillier, J. Eberle = R. Spooner,
