You have a couple of young defensemen in the minors who never get a chance to play, namely Kiersted and Carlsson. I wonder why? He keeps acquiring other defensemen during the offseason but never gives these guys a chance, Are they professional minor leaguers? Could they be any worse than an IR Ekblad or an aging Kulikov?

It’s a good question regarding the young guys, man. But the defense has been a positive the majority of this season, can’t deny that.
And how about this one…I was looking forward to seeing what that Petteri Lindbohm had when they signed him out of Europe. He barely got a look, then faded away into obscurity and is back playing in Europe.
I remember reading favorable scouting reports on him that he was strong in the defensive zone and an intelligent player…
