Bouchard is better suited for that. Keith and Cici are glued together. That just leaves Koekkok-Bariie or Russell-Barrie. The issue is entirely Russell being on the team at all. Uhm, yeah. That’s my point. 4K-Barrie is at least passable as a 3rd pair. With Russell it’s a tire fire every damned shift. He needs to retire. We need someone better than 4K and Russell.

We need another LHD, maybe two, because Keith's play has been really exposed of late too. We have some guys playing really well on the farm and I'd definitely give one of them a look, but I'm not sure that Tippett would be able to stomach two rookie defencemen in the lineup, even if Bouchard is doing really well. Another one of those "moneyball arguments" no doubt.
