I agree, which is why I think instead of focusing on just forwards, Drury needs to improve the D if they want to improve the chances at a long run. The 3rd pair is questionable in their own zone at best, and adding a physical stay at home dman would have a trickledown effect I believe. I think it would be a big add to the team, in addition to a top RW.
The Ducks are out West, yet Verbeek was at the game last night, could be something cooking.
