> Before you come at me with pitchforks and torches

Why does it seem you have to put that in every post you make?

My guess is because your analysis is consistently lazy...

... the Wings need a top 4 defender... not necessarily a left handed top 4 defender.

If the D pairings for the upcoming season are:

1st Ben Chiarot (L) / Moritz Seider (R)

2nd Simon Edvinsson (L) / Albert Johansson (L)

3rd Erik Gustafsson (L) / Jacob Bernard‑Docker (R)

67% of the starters are already left handed.

Regarding the power play:

PP1 Moritz Seider (R)

PP2 Ed and Gus are both lefties.

So 67% of the D on the PP are already left handed.

Wings need to be looking for best available D (or best value D) regardless of shot. Pickings get really slim after Mo and hoping AlJo and Ed don't have sophomore slumps.

What's really funny is that I just searched "pitchforks" on 313 Hockey and it didn't appear once apart from this article. Adding Oleksiak implies that a guy like Chiarot or Gustafsson becomes the 7D as I stated in the article.

It's okay if you don't agree, but your criticisms aren't really consistent with the content of the article at all
