Top two shut down defenders are Methot and JC ,Toronto,s are Phaneuf and Gunnerson ,Toronto,s two pmd are Franson and Gardener,where as Ottawa has EK and Weircoch.Three of ottawa top 4 are in their rolls for sure.With weircoch slotting in the 4 pmd roll.So is ottawa not more established in their pairings than Toronto is at this time with Franson still being unsigned and reilly not being ready??

You know... without Gonchar... Ottawa's d doesn't look that great.

Toronto's isn't insane either...

But I think Toronto's forward group is more superior to Ottawa's than Ottawa's D is to Toronto's

- Feeling Glucky?
This is about right ,ottawa has three established in their roles with Methot JC and EK .Wiercoch looks decent in preseason,but is far from proven .The forwards are a mixed bag ,there is a lot of depth with some nice young pieces on the rise.But its a work in progress,the strength of the team up front looks to be down the middle of the ice.But its far from certain

Dion is a good defenseman in his zone??,Gunnerson is decent but the physical play of JC is hard to ignore.So yes i would rather have Methot and JC in DEFENSE FIRST ROLE

Yes ,Anderson is great but some of those stats are there because of ottawa,s very solid depth at defense.This where we should have a gap on Toronto,they were carried by their offense ,we where carried by our defense

Then you get it then ,Ottawa,s top 4 is more established in its roles than Toronto,s.Cowen played top4 mins a rookie shutdown defender on a playoff team,did any of the leafs defense do this?? .Next Methot played top pairing shutdown mins last season on a playoff team in his first season as a sen,did phaneuf or gunnerson do this in their first season as a leaf top 4 blueliner???

You came back with how many games the leafs defense had played in the nhl .I asked you time and time again ,how much of the leaf top 4 was established in their roles on the team ??

You come at me with Franson,s 200+ game a a defender on toronto and Gardeners 87 games Vrs cowen,s 90 games .I kept telling you Cowen has always played in the role of top 4 shutdown defender,you kept coming back and laughing at why i said established because of cowen,s lack of experience.

But Cowen ,has already established himself as a top 4 defender to our coach when he played there as a rookie in his first season and helped ottawa get into the playoffs

And Gardiner did the same in his rookie year. Missing the point still for the last 8 hours??

FYI Cowen 1691mins total in the NHL in 89 games = 19min/game.

GArdiner 1863 in 87 games nhl games = 21.43mins/game.

Gardiner has played more MINS and his mins/game is higher but he's less established.

No iam not, is cowen not a top 4 defender ???Gardener has not played in the top 4 for a 82 game sched.Cowen has and would have once again if he had not been hurt .Franson hasnt done it either, so again who is more established a defenseman in a top 4 role .

How do you not grasp this.

GArdiner has played more mins. He played more mis/game. He's played in the top 4.


But he's not as established as the guy with less mins played??

Did either do it for an 82 game sched ??? NO!!! Cowen did in his rookie season and looked quite good at doing it without him we dont make the playoffs.Just because he got hurt doesnt change the fact that he had already proven he was a top 4 defender and would have likely improved upon a very sucessful rookie season.Just as Toronto is hoping with both their young pmd,s in Gardener and Franson
