I imagine that the biggest improvement to our defense next season will come in the form of coaching.
Still hoping we get a half decent D piece back in a Laine trade though.

And I think that is the most important aspect of why he is here. he played 80 games for Colorado last year. I think he'll be just fine as a 3rd pairing guy who should have an understanding of structure at this point in his career.I don’t think people are mad about adding JJ because he’s old, they’re mad because they wanted someone who can contribute positively on the defensive side of the ice and the PK.
Jack is going to be great in the room though.
Werenski-Severson
Provorov-Jiricek
Christiansen/Johnson-Gudbranson
Puke
Guess we’ll see if the organization believes in Christiansen or not. If this was the last signing, it at least gives him a path to make the team.I'm happy to add JJ as a #7. Good add. I find it really funny that he was our 6/7 when he left in 2018, and is almost the same player now six years later. Hopefully Wads has another D in the works.
It's again an overall composition issue where none of these pairings would be ideal in shutdown situations when you're holding a lead. The third period meltdowns and coach killing might continue if we don't add a better defender.
But I was already here and I'm tired and there's such a nice calming breeze as you get closer...It’s July 2 folks
Please back away from the ledge
No, he has an NHL contract that is guaranteed. I suspect he'll be on the roster but, shit, let's see where this at least goes. the league calendar just opened.This is a legit contract, not a PTO. Hes on the roster

If they bring in someone else, Christiansen’s path is probably closed for good. Here at least.
Yeah well um I mean SHUT THE f*** UP BITCH I'M TRYING HERE, OKAYBizarro Viqsi said:What about the number of times you've made that exact same argument to other folks freaking out and then there were no followups? You got through that by feeling confident about the initial moves, after all...
