Fixing our Defensive and PP problems

No all around. The defense has issues because Burns is sick and orlov is getting used to the system. We would make it worse by adding another new body to the mix to play with orlov

The problem is that TDA is a defensive liability and we need somebody who can run PP1 who is not Brent Burns or TDA. I mean Hanifin doesn't necessarily need to play with Orlov... you can have Orlov-Skjei and Hanifin-Pesce. Orlov has played very well when paired with Skjei

Or we just dump TDA all around and let skjei run the power play. Adding Hanifin is a waste of assets

Skjei wasn't great running the PP last year and we need a competent PP to be able to go far

Haven’t fixed either issue.

The uncomfortable reality is the guy who should be sitting is the defender who has the Highest AAV. I have zero issue with TDA, if you thought you were getting a defenseman you got the wrong guy. Orlov has been a train wreck with the puck and as bad defensively as TDA. Orlov was signed because the Canes had a deal in place with Dallas for Pesce and that fell through. Already has an agreement with Philly for TDA so they made good on that.

The PP is fixed when they get a shooter who’s a threat from the middle of the ice. The right flames player to attack would be Lindholm.
