I don't think there's any magic to it TBH.

Hazy and Ahlers always quote Carlyle saying that NHL defensemen need ~200 games to fully get comfortable.

I think this is LaCombe getting comfortable.

Exactly. And the same reason Im not worried about Minty and Zell yet. They just need time to come into their own and learn the ropes.

Minty and Zell need to learn how to play defense as OFD's. That will take some time. LaCombe spent four years in college developing and refining his defensive game. This year, Cronin is ramming defense down Minty's throat with the highest DZone Start% for a defenseman on the team with 61.4% at Even Strength (ES). Only way to get experience is playing games. Unfortunately, Minty's on a rotation and isn't getting in his reps.
