That makes sense. Defense in Granato's system is focused on puck possession. It isn't about taking the puck away from the other team. It's about making them take it away from you.Maybe JJ-Cozens/Krebs-Quinn could be a 3rd line comparable to Vanek-Roy-Afinogenov? They weren't great defensively at first glance, but they were such a mismatch for other 3rd lines they didn't need to be. Also allows them to keep Asplund-Mitts-VO together.
