Defense was AWFUL yesterday.
Trouba and Lindgren can’t come back soon enough.

So glad they traded for Rosloshit, who’s “fast and does stuff”

I wanted him as the wild card for offense.
He has warts but he's electric
even Gus.
The Jones Fox pairing was rough.... well Jones got somewhat exposed
One of the LHD hopefully play in Colorado

Yeah and wasn’t Duclair pretty much a similar cost of what the Rangers paid to get Rosloshit? Such an underwhelming player. He’s just fast athletic and agile and “exists” out there and never does anything.

His turnovers have been egregious. Looks like a controller disconnect

It also makes you non competitive on the RFA/UFA market because every other team offers them. It’s not realistic. As usual.

don't get why anyone engages with the guy. it's mind blowing. Similar level of delusion/self aggrandizement as Mickey8 on twitter.

Feeling it
I wouldve been ok with Duclair - living with his deficiencies defensively.
But putting 5-4-9 since the trade is a huge add and it wouldn't even matter with that kind of production. Only 2 of those points are PP and they are assists.
And if he was on Mika's right the other two are responsible, he might have been a good fit.
I was watching Roslovic a little closer last night, was hoping for a little more energy from him. And better puck management. Hes a good fit but Lavy mixed in Kakko for some better defense at the end anyway, could have done similar using Duclair. Hes a threat every shift.

I thought the defense looked like a defense missing half the usual starters

At this point there might not be a good fit for them.
Roslovic has speed but it's very physical. So you're not really expecting much of a dump and chase from him where he comes out of that battle often. Zibanejad will carry the puck for the most part through the middle and then turn it over. Until the style of play changes, I'm not sure who you're putting there that's going to really change them.

It's all so tiresome
Duclair has also been playing with two superior players for the most part, I doubt he’d be putting up those numbers playing with Kreider and Zibanejad.

He also cost more than what Roslovic did in a trade, so it makes sense why Drury had Pacioretty/Roslovic as fallback options while mainly trying to get Guentzel.
It was a conditional 4th like 3 years from now to get him at 50%. You can easily recoup that pick in the future
Up in the Blue Seats. Mollie Walker, Brian Boyle and guest HHOF Larry Brooks:
All three figure the d pairs will be back the way they were. They don't feel Trouba will be third pairing.

One bad defensive game and we're immediately jumping to "we need the guys who are out" amidst probably our best stretch of play all year.
We looked like that every night when the guys who are out were in.

Should be
Lindgren-Fox
Miller-Schneider
Jones-Trouba
Although I could see some wanting Gus over jones for the experience factor

If Hartford was chock full of nothing but defensemen that were in reality better than Jacob Trouba and Ryan Lindgren they'd have about 6 losses this year.

Random nobodies from Hartford play 12 minutes. Trouba plays 25 minutes.
If Trouba were treated in accordance with his actual quality, he wouldn't be an issue.
