<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AStovetop</b></div><div>There's 5 people on the ice, and their centers. Are they not supposed to defend? That's why Boston wins games and Edmonton doesn't. They have forwards who play defense.

But Beyond that, it's the second part of what I said, it's their role to provide offense. That's why you'll pair a shutdown a guy with someone like EK.</div></div>

Do you think pairing him with a "shutdown" DMan actually solves anything? That's NHL Network talk for "I have nothing else to contribute". The fact is, EK is really not a very good player (unless you like highlights), and he definitely isn't worth anything close to the trade posted above, and he most certainly won't help the Oilers play better defense, which you kinda need in order to win a Cup.

And btw, Boston wins yes, because their forwards play defense; but they really win because Bergeron and Krejci are making a combined $3.5M a year and that really helps with filling the rest of their roster.
