Still have forwards going passive in the defensive zone, and I'm still waiting to see Walman actually show some the skating he is supposedly so noted for. But even given that, we now have maybe 6 forwards on a given night playing at an NHL level instead of 2 or 3, Maata has been great, Chariot OK, and Hronek playing like a new man the quality of the D core is up by at least 100%. Bummed Solderblom is not back yet though.
Team could also crash over the goalie situation if Nedeljkovic can't get going a little before Husso inevitably cools off.
