Other than your feelings do you have anything to back up that they've been bad defensively and getting bailed out by Stolarz/Woll ?

You may need glasses.

Goals saved above expected
How much higher their g% is than their xgf%
Tanev and McCabe have good defensive numbers, but Tanev is bad offensively so it evens out a lot.
The goals against despite getting great goaltending

Ah you're an advanced stats guy :laugh: makes sense
 
This is an absolute steal for the Bruins. Carlo is decent but not like the clowns at TSN make him out to be. I don't think they watch many games outside of the Leafs tbh. Soft, poke checking dman. 6'5 plays like he's 5'10.

I guess at under 4 million he's a good add but Carlo isn't what the panel think he is.

If you're 6'5", you don't play like you're 5'10" by default of being 6'5. 😂 Simply by being 6'5, he can clear the front of the net, move guys around, and do things a 5'10" defenseman can't. Carlo has flaws—he's not great offensively and he's not physical —but defensively and in front of the net, he's extremely good. He's a top-30-40ish RD in the league and an easy second-pair, #4 D. Worth the cost. There's a shortage of good RD in the NHL.
