RDOilerfan wrote on Tue, 22 January 2019 14:09 | I am more worried about the forwards and where they can get some depth not only for the rest of this season but going forward.
With Klefbom coming back after this game:
Klef- Larsson
Nurse - Russell
Manning/Petrovic/Gravel/Benning. Even Jones. While not amazing, I think you can do alright with that defense
For next year with Klef, Larson, Nurse, Jones. I think they have the makings of a decent 4 out out 6 dmen. Factor in maybe Russell, Bouchard, Bear, Benning, maybe an addition. I am not that worried about the defense. It's the forwards. I don't know what Puljujarvi is or will be. He could be another 2 years from being decent for all we know. Yamo I think is a ways away.

Bingo, pending health, the defence isn't TERRIBLE after the break. At least when compared to the forward group (outside of 97, obviously).
Would think Petro/Gravel would be a serviceable 3rd pair, swapping Benning with Gravel here and there.
Manning is a #8 with that group. Lars should go back to what he is, he's a much different player with Klefbom. Can tell he trusts and loves to play with Oscar.
Re: Forwards, I think thats where the 2019 1st comes in... yes yes yes... I've been grilled in other threads for it but I still think the 2019 1st, lottery protected, is better used on a player that can help us now and going forward. Not sure Chiarelli and the "Collab" are the ones to make that deal though...
The way the forward group is right now, they're putting a lot of hope into Benson and possibly Marody to be full time NHL guys soon. Which i don't see either as a top 6 option. And same goes for Yamamoto right now, dude looks a ways away yet.
