Flame away but I really think going back to Nurse-Barrie as a pair could work well for this team, coupled with what we saw a Kulak-Ceci pair do last year I think that’s the teams best option for top 4 d pairs. Then roll whichever plug at 3d with Bouch in sheltered minutes.

High risk idea have one D pair for scoring and another for defending. It might not be a bad idea because any defense corp that has Nurse, Barrie, Bouchard, and Other is going to have a hard time icing two defensively competent pairings.

My biggest worry is Nurse.. he was supposed to be our #1 shut down D-man.. but he still loses his position and man in the D-zone.. never mind the top of the league D-zone turnovers..
Barrie brings another dimension, the PP QB.. so you can understand if he is a little less defensively skilled.. we were supposed to be able to say the same for Bouchard this year, but he isn't on the PP.. and his point shots look like he's been training at the Andrej Sekera Shin-Pad Assassin Summer Camp..
Kulak looks like he forgot how to skate sometimes out there, blown a few pivots for break-aways.. and not exactly a shut-down D-man physically.
Ceci to me looks like the best of the bunch right now defensively.
