I will get banned again soon, worry not.
We don't need to acquire a mediocre defenseman just so he can be the low bar. We have mediocre defensemen already.Who's Desharnais stopping from playing if we signed him? Kovecevic and/or Barron?
Desharnais would be a simple benchmark: If Reinbacher/Mailloux aren't better than him, they don't play and they're sent back to the AHL.
A starting line up of:
Matheson-Savard
Xhekaj-Guhle
Hutson-Desharnais
Kovacevic
Struble
Seems somewhat realistic. Take into consideration Savard's probably getting traded within the next 9 months and there's always injuries at some point. Not to mention, Desharnais won't be signing a crazy deal in terms of money & length. Might be able to get him for two years @ $1.5M AAV.
