Would be nice to reduce the xGA/60 of those pairs to even out with the xGF/60.

Are stats available to indicate the effect of the Fs that they played with? For example, If they played with the 4th liners, the stats might show that the 4th liners were a causal factor for the poor xGA/60.

You can find stats showing with or without numbers for full lines, for example, here's Kleven, Hamonic and Ostapchuk's WOWY table,

Sanderson - Zub
Chabot - Matinpalo
Kleven - Jensen
JBD/Hamonic

Only 14 mins but Chabot-Matinpalo have a xGF% of 90.5% lol

Of course it wouldn't stay as good but what if that deployment allows to make the whole defense even better? Sanderson-Zub has been beasting again. Seriously, Zubbie needs to stay healthy. They have a 60.3% xGF ratio together (357 ES mins)
 
Sign him to a 1-2 year extension
1.2M AAV to RFA
I can see this guy adjusting well to NHL LIKE Zub
Just in time for when Jensen’s contract is up and Yak coming in. We should be able to sign Jensen to a friendly contract and he’ll be the D vet for the future that we hoped for when we signed in Hamonic.

My head hurts thinking about this and the other possibilities. :)

Matinpalo and Leevi have both benefited from injuries that forced them into our lineup and showed us how good they are.

I defintely wouldn't want to lose Matinpalo. I think we have our D already set up for next year.

Sanderson - Zub
Chabot - Jensen
Kleven - Matinpalo
JBD

With Sebrango and Yakemchuk in the AHL next year providing further depth. Wish Donovan and Guenette had shown more.

Reminds me of a better skating Fredrick Claesson.

Not a bad comparable.

Still blows my mind we made it to within 1 goal of making the Stanley Cup Finals (and probably winning the cup since Nashville had lost their #1 C to injury) with Claesson and Harpur as our 3rd pairing, not to mention Phaneuf and Ceci holding down the 2nd pair.

Damn you Chris Kunitz.
