Quoting: csick
Is Grans close to nhl ready? Honestly I’ll take any of those guys except Walker . Also how is Durzi on the defensive side?
Durzi is doing as well as can be expected on the left side -- he deserves to play on the right side for the rest of his career. His perceived defensive deficiencies are outweighed by his performance quarterbacking the second-unit power play and he'll outgrow them, in any event.
Walker isn't a bad stopgap idea while Thomson and Bernard-Docker mature another season because he won't cost you much and he's in your cap price range. Don't be so quick to dismiss him.
Grans isn't ready quite yet. Spence is ready for 2023-2024; Grans is one season behind, in my opinion.
