What Team Has the Top Future D Corp

[Garbageyuk]

Your opinion is just that which is fair, but you’d be hard pressed to find a NJ fan who would agree with you. He showed up hurt so he got off to something of a slow start but post four nations he’s been fantastic for NJ. He’s scoring over a point per game and his defensive game has grown tremendously. He played almost 30 minutes last night when he can’t even practice because of a lingering injury. Outside of some stat watching without context I struggle to see anything other than significant improvement as an all around top pair all situations defender. Now Nemec is another story. You will find plenty of NJ fans agreeing with you on him. He makes too many mistakes and at times doesn’t seem to learn from them. On balance they have a bright future on defense but if you want to downgrade them a bit based on Nemec I can understand. Downgrading them at all based on Hughes is strongly disagree with.

Okay? Did you notice I didn’t cut my own team any slack on the injuries front either? It is what it is.

I think the way they are cooking Luneau is perfect. He always needed to sharpen up on the D side, so the AHL is a perfect spot to do so. Thanks for your feedback.

Big Luneau fan... i saw him and Mintyukov being our future top pair....

Lacombe i thought was going to top off as a 2nd pairing guy, but right now hes looking like a top pair dmen... which is a huge hit, as i feel like majority thought hed be like 3rd or 4th best dmen on roster.

And a guy like Helleson being a productive 3rd pair guy was a big hit for us.

Itll be interesting to see what happens the next couple years with Mintyukov, Zellweger, Luneau, Moore, Solberg (and a couple guys like Hinds, Dioncicio, T. Smith,)

Just a hunch, and i love the player, but I can see Zellweger being used as trade bait to strengthen other parts of the team.

I feel like PV is prob on that boat.

Lacombe
Mintyukov Luneau
Solberg Helleson

All 6'2+.... There is part of me that wants to grab Mrtka at the draft (tho hoping for Martone/Martin)

The more I see Rinzel & Levshunov the more it seems like Blackhawks are easily the top future D. These two RD both look like #1 D If they continue on the path they are on . To a lesser degree Kaiser , Del Mastro , Korchinski & Allan , these four are giving snap shots of what they can become.

I didn’t realize they were both doing that well. That’s going to be huge for their rebuild with Bedard.

Whatever rebuilding team lands Dupont in 2027 will have the best future D core
