In my opinion we're not very strong on defence. It's not just about his offensive ability. he is a very good two-way d-man. I think the most likely scenario would be Dahlin and Chychrun together and having Samuelsson paired with Power
Neither Samuelsson or Power have spent much time on the right side though- so we have no clue if they could be effective partners
I think if we ended up trading for Chychrun, the pairs would end up looking like this :
Chychrun-Dahlin
Power-Jokiharju
Samuelsson-Lyubushkin
Now that probably makes our deer dense better overall,
but i also don’t think we need to touch the Samuelsson-Dahlin pairing- it’s already pretty great as is
Chychrun is overkill imo
Besides there being no obvious place to slot him in that makes sense, idk that paying 3 defensemen big $$$ moving forward is smart for our Cap
Dahlin doesn’t need a “star” partner, we’re already seeing that
And i don’t think Power does either
I’m not saying we shouldn’t look to improve things,
but maybe all we gotta do is find Power his “Samuelsson”
Heck- Jokiharju & him might even be really good together
We haven’t seen a ton of both of them together healthy though
Hopefully it works out & we won’t have to even worry about it
I still think there’s a good shot it does- time will tell
