I’ve fixed the D but at what cost?

Actual second line players

Fixed the D? Yea Ellis is good but Honda was OK in the Finnish league. An improvement ?

I’d rather have Marner over either of we being honest

Honda? Honka can be replaced by anyone really

Ellis would be a huge upgrade on that right side and I really like this top-four D as well as the big roster. I'm also surprised by how little was given up in terms of offence. Yeah, Marner is important but I feel like Toffoli, Jarncrok and Vlad could be solid options. I do like the idea of going bigger for that defenceman, even if it means sacrificing offence.

I wonder if there would be a package around Marner for Ellis and Arvidsson that would make sense for both teams. NSH gets a scoring winger it needs and TOR the RD it needs plus a top 6 winger replacement for Marner.
