Another gem of a blog, K. I also agree with you in regards to "our" defense prospects... We've been crying for a new Andrei Markov since he left... Subban was the closest we had. Having a defense that has an offensive mindset both compliments the weapons we have up front in players like Caufield, Suzuki, Newhook, Dach, and company, but also allows creativity in getting the puck out of the zone. So many of the big bruiser stay at home defensemen just dump the puck and hope for the best. It's why Markov made Komisarek look so good... Because he was able to move the puck out the zone to the offense, padding his (and Komisarek's)stat line. The future is promising... We may see some flying Habs sooner than later.

Thanks, as polarizing as he was on the ice, I really liked P.K. Subban he was a breath of fresh air in an otherwise anemic attack and watching Hutson play, I'll admit that I do get excited, so much potential there, can't wait to see him how it will translate at the pro level though, if he'll be able to shine against big and tall NHL players.
