I guess, but getting a big/physical d-man who can actually play defence is much easier said than done. 90% of the time you just end up with Travis Hamonic.I said it before this season, this team needs more size and grit on the back end. We dont have a punishing D core. Chabot just continues to regress each year and Hamonic is washed. Kleven is a rookie. We need some more experience and grit.

I feel like he would have learned to play defence by now if this were the case.
Been 6 years he still looks lost on 2/3s of the ice.
I don’t think we have a lot of great IQ guys in the team. Probably why we’re better with stricter coaches telling the guys what to do.m more.
It hasn't played out the way I thought or hoped, but 1-1 after playing Montreal and Florida isn't as bad as many of you are making it out to be.
I don't get this reference. Elaborate please.Did you know my wife is a semi famous author? I can't tell you who she is though! Hihi
They played like shit the last five periods of hockey, and this in their first two games of a season where they expect to make the playoffs. It is as bad as we are making it out to be.

I would have traded Chabot (if possible) and bought out HamonicThey swapped Brannstrom for Kleven
They swapped Chychrun for Jensen
Thy should have swapped Chabot for Jensen, but either way they did at least address the size/grit issue to a reasonable degree.
I don’t think you are a Habs fan but you have an irrational fear of them.
Their drafting has been really good.

This isn’t a bad thing Kleven is probably already better at shedding forecheckers than Brannstrom. He may not walk over the blueline 1v4 and have his shot deflected into the netting as often but he is so much more efficient.
people don't like hearing it but brannstrom made our 3rd pair respectable.
now we have to rely on rookie kleven for that and that's not going so good.
At no point did I say it was a bad thing.

He basically said this a while back. Not in a DM (I wouldn't share that), he just dropped it out of nowhere.I don't get this reference. Elaborate please.
brannstrom drove possession. he got the puck out. he had hockey sense, and elevated his linemates.
kleven-brannstrom would have been a good pairing even if one guys was playing on their off side.
Brannstrom was good once others got the puck into the offensive zone, he was good at being involved on the cycle but for a player who struggled to defend, he never drove play and was inefficient in transition.
3-0. At 3 nothing lol.
What was his plan to not get it to 3-0.
And yeah this might be a case of the players being right lol. It’s THREE f***ING NOTHING
