Of course I believe Josi to be elite. Seriously it's bad thing to lose your partner, with everything a defender has to do. (But 'Weber's numbers are down'? Would it be a stronger argument if Weber hadn't been as good in the past so that his numbers were 'up'? I guess then he'd be a bigger loss?)The thing is this team is more offensively starved than they are defensively. But I hope you do not believe that Weber is the only reason Josi has played so well because thats just not the case. Josi is our best on the blueline even with Weber out there.
