here’s a lukewarm take for g1 of the season: an average (or below average) Dcorps and uncertain goaltending will do this team in
In 15+ years post-Pronger, and outside of Visnovsky, this team still hasn’t managed to draft or procure a bonafide #1 (or even a #2) D. Klef was not him. I love Nurse but neither is he. I don’t blame the players, I’ll tell you that much. It’s embarrassing!

I'd argue they do have a 1st pairing D-man in Ekholm.. his play is a stark difference compared to the rest.. best since Pronger .. but agree it is pretty sad they can't seem to draft anything even close to a #1 ..
After Ekholm.. the rest are mediocre defenders.. Desharnais does OK.. but he's a 6-7 d-man.. Bouchard can handle a PP.. but his defensive abilities are low.. and Nurse? .. can't figure that guy out.. I thought it might be the man-to-man defensive system they had that didn't suit his abilities and he couldn't execute (agility, puck smarts).. they switch systems.. a simpler zone.. same result..
