This is interesting. The defense looks like something out of a Sakic playbook. I feel the overall theme should be more about skating and speed. If you look at his acquisitions - especially toews, burakovsky, girard, donskoi - and draft picks - Makar, Byram, Jost, Newhook, etc. - there is a big focus on skating ability. Obviously he had found some complementary players for the right trade costs (graves, nichushkin, kadri) who aren't standout skaters, and they fit in well to balance things out, but the impact guys are all masters on edges and speedsters (aside from the big man Rantanen)
