Is it the D men or the system?

Remember Todd Gill? One of the worst D man in the league until Pat Burns came along.

That guy was a beast. He had a serious mean streak in him. He could go toe to toe with some of the heavyweights of the time.

Say the Leafs let Raymond, Kulemin, Franson, and Fraser walk(or trade them)...
And then Re-sign Phaneuf to a 7-7.5M contract, Ranger(or any other bottom-pairing shut-down d-man) to 1M, and bring back Komarov to the 2M deal he wanted...

and then throw big money at a top-pairing reliable guy, like Orpik(5M?)

Team's looking pretty good, IMO.

a -4 on defence oriented system. Is he really all that good or is the minus not indicative of his play.

OEL is a beast, Michalek/Stone/Klesla whoever they pair with him he's good.

Yandle hasn't been able to adapt losing Morris early, he's been preyed on quite a bit playing with a mix of Rundblad, Murphy and Schlemko

Ahh, the numbers were so skewed in the opposite direction but now I see why.

Yeah, if we could somehow pry Giradi from NYR to go with Dion, then that would be solid
