How long before Sandin is ahead of Dermott?
Hopefully this is because he's coming in for Marincin or Ceci, and not because Barrie, Dermott or Holl have contracted the ebola virus:

Honestly not many dcorps could lose their top 2 dmen and still have that much talent.
I mean, it's definitely a godsend right now that our two most NHL-ready impact prospects on the farm are defensemen.
Even guys like Schmaltz & Gravel are pretty solid to have as additional depth, seeing as both have played a bunch of NHL games.
Godsend maybe...but also part of the gameplan coming into the year.
