tougher to play against doesn't mean adding tough guys, it means the team as a whole must play a tighter defensive game. Keefe looks like an idiot saying his players are too soft, it's the coach who isn't teaching them to play better and smarter.

Keefe is not a bad coach and this team has played better defensively this season. Teams always have some dips and need to go through adversity. I think the biggest need for this team is a right shot defensemen who can penalty kill, hit and block shots. To me, Manson is a perfect fit on this team. Anaheim has a number of decent younger defensemen to sign and they aren't a realistic contender yet. This version would have an improved penalty kill adding Mason to your first PK unit and Appleton and Holl now on your second PK unit.
