Don't know how much stock one can put in performance during dead time when a team has all but been eliminated from the playoffs where there's no pressure and coaches tend to be a lot more tolerating.
In other words, unless ordered by higher ups otherwise, I don't expect Huska to be as forgiving to Kuzmenko's abysmal defensive play to start the season. His leash will be shorter. Same goes for Mantha and his lackadaisical play.
Both Andersson and Weegar have historically struggled with elevated minutes resulting in far more mental mistakes. And I suspect Huska will lean on them heavily given how inexperienced the rest of the defense is. And they're gonna miss Kylington's puck carrying abilities a lot more than folks realize.
If Sharangovich's shooting percentage drops back to his career average, that's about 6 less goals on the same number of shots. Coleman would drop 10 goals similarly.

Woof. Okay, maybe second worst then . Top five worst at least.You should have a look at the defensive roster from the 97 team. That's what rock bottom looks like.
