With the massive risk of jinxing us before we finish this Vegas series, I have to give Bowman some credit for this and the Klingberg moves.

Finally using LTIR space, and tossing Kling some bonuses he basically created, in the middle of this season, a very low real cost D pair that is performing like a solid 2nd pair for us. Basically we have an elite 3rd pair, and overall this D group might be performing better than any D group we've had in the McDrai age. The performance was very top heavy last year with some very weak links on the right side that Knob struggled with all playoffs.

Podz and Frederic are turning into very good playoff performers too, pushing play and landing some huge damage on opposition defense. We just played maybe our best game of the playoffs with JJ's 2 deadline adds that took 7M of cap space sitting out, and Ekholm out too. Really wish JJ left that cap space unused to let the next GM make moves, but still looking in decent shape, as long as goaltending can hold up.
