As excited as you guys may be about Stamkos, the reality is that we need to draft defensemen. They guys at Manchester are still a ways off based on the fact none have been called up. The free agents Preissing and Stuart have played below expectations. Blake and Modry are getting old. The Kings give up way too many shots and we need to backcheck better and improve the penalty killing. The right thing to do is really look hard at the defensemen in the draft and fix our real problem.
