This is the fundamental issue with our blue line this season - there are so many variables.
Will Holl be as good as he was last year when with Muzzin? Could he take another step forward?
Is Dermott going to take a stride forward and become a top 4 quality defenceman? He very well could, he very well could not
What will Sandin and Liljegren look like? Are either one of them going to be top 4 calibre very soon? Should they be on the 3rd pair? Would they be best served spending some more time with the Marlies?
Will Lehtonen translate extremely well to the NHL and be a top 4 guy? Will he be a third pair guy? Will he make the team?
Just so many variables. You want to be prepared and make the appropriate moves to bolster the blue line, but what if some of these guys take those forward strides? Really tricky situation, but I think we can all agree they at least need one stable shutdown RD. I hope they find a way to make Petro work there, but at least get a guy like Demelo
