Sujet: Whos the secondary defender
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GiggywithGibby</b></div><div>I think the accusation about Peeke not being able to break the lineup isn't accurate, the reality is they had 4 NHL defensemen on the right to start the year, then Jiricek pushed his way onto the roster. He's not top 4 by any belief, but he's an adequate bottom 4 shot blocker and hit thrower. Boqvist should really switch to wing at this point, the offense is there, always has been, but the guy never developed defensive awareness, but that makes him a somewhat natural Klingberg slot in.

All the guys you mentioned were LD, are you content to push McCabe to his off wing and hope for the best with Brodie McCabe Timmins as a right side if it means bringing in a true top 4 for the left?</div></div>

Tanev, Larsson, Walker are all Right Shot RD.

And we also have Lily on the right.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GiggywithGibby</b></div><div>I mean, Tre shouldn't have sign Klingberg in the first place, it's been a serious stroke of luck for the organization (horrible luck for John) that he's done for the season. Dude should put a hit out on the agent who got him to turn down the 7.8x8 or whatever it was that Dallas offered him.

There's not a lot of RHD available or predicted as available. Maybe CBJ is willing to sell Boqvist and/or Peeke, but retention isn't like an option there. Los Angeles isn't selling anyone, and neither is NYR. Those are the three teams I know loaded up on RHD.</div></div>

I agree on you about Klingberg. I didn't love the signing. I was very happy it was only 1 year and I was hopeful it would be a worthwhile gamble. Peeke can't even crack Columbus D core and they are not a good team. He is signed 2.75 for several more years. NO thanks. Boqvist has a lot of potential but he is still solidifying himself in the NHL. Leafs don't need a project. We need a bonafide dman.

It's why Calgary keeps being brought up, because they are sitting on Tanev and Hanifin (LD) as pending UFA's. Larsson in Seattle could be an option for this year and next. Walker in Philly (or Seelers who is a LD though). But Philly is in the playoff hunt.

There are some options but we will see how it plays out!
