need to work on defence

Chicago doesn't need any more LD. Plus, that's not enough to take on Leddy's contract.

Would be kind of dumb to pay to ship out Leddy and Krug to sign another veteran defenseman to a long-term UFA contract.

You're lying to yourself about what it costs to unload a guy with two years left on his contract and who really can't play anymore.

Are you talking about Leddy or Krug?

They can both play. Leddy was actually pretty good for us this year, and he's been tasked with being a lot more than he should be and hasn't sunk.

Krug can quarterback a powerplay and still be an asset with his passing. The issue is his cons are outweighing his pros in a top 4 role, especially when we need to shelter him and Faulk, and them together is a circus.
