TM D core will be the biggest D core in the league. New D players coming in are all over 6’2”.
What does that matter if they are liabilities
how are they liabilities?
3 returning D are all over 6'2" and 3 new D coming in (1 from TT and 2 from OMHA) are all over 6'2". Will be the biggest D core in the loop.
Coach should just recruit basketball players at this point. I mean the taller the better right? Go look at the size of all the top D drafted every year. Most are 5"10 to 6"1. You dont get yet the game has changed? Go away moron. Kids will get lit up like they did at the brick. They just can't keep up with the speed of the top kids. Everyone knows it.
Defense is the name of the game now. If you can’t defend, you won’t be able to earn the trust of your coaching staff and won’t be their go-to guy in the playoffs, either. Often, smaller defensemen are relied upon for their offensive skills. However, it’s more challenging for them to defend at a high level. If you look at the list of smaller defensemen drafted since 2010, those who cannot defend at a high level simply have not panned out. The reality is that you can’t be an average smaller defenseman in the NHL, you need to be at a certain level in order to be effective and stay in the lineup. There are quite a few big (yet average) NHL defensemen around the league who are not limited by their size and strength and can therefore defend effectively enough to keep their roster spots. One phrase that is often used in hockey is “defense wins championships,” and right now, one of the factors that determine a competitive defense is their size on the back end. Looking at the past two drafts alone, the numbers would seem to reflect this.

They are all over 6’2”, they must be good hockey players then….lol. There is a difference between being the tallest and the best D, this isn’t minor atom anymore.
None of this matters with all of the promises made next year expect VK to have a 9 man PP first unit and they’ll be first place due to 100% PP%. If you’ve been made promises which almost everyone has I’d be very careful coach is not honest you’ve been warned
Again about the so-called promises. You obviously don't know shit about recruiting. Good coaches (those coaching the top teams) don't make promises except that there will be no bias, players have to earn what they get. If you believe otherwise then your kid is not on a top team. Tell your kid to go suck on his mom's not allowed.
