He's playing better than Hamonic. I think he's actually playing pretty well for a #4 guy.

Him & Hamonic are awful.

Hughes Myers
Schmidt Chatty
OJ Benn

That's a very young and bad defense feel bad for Demko

- NewYorkNuck

Is it worse than last night with Edler gone? Hamonic was playing pretty poopty.

Via his 1st of 2 assists for the Canucks last night, Quinn Hughes reached the 60 career point mark. Over the last 35 seasons (since 1985-86), just 4 defencemen have done it in fewer games than Hughes' 78: Brian Leetch (61), Vladimir Malakhov (69), Gary Suter (75), Sergei Zubov (75)

Future Norris Trophy winner!!

Why can't Myers be injured?
- Marwood

He's playing decent. Getting better. It's Schmidt that is looking nasty at times out there.

He could be the 1st ever Norris defender with a higher negative on the +/- , than points scored.😁

Myers has been alright, about what he is. NS, he's not crappy, but he's not that great yet, IMO. Was expecting a little more from him. Still has time of course!

EP will turn it around, I'm trying to trade for him in my pool haha

Hamonic has looked rough, not sure about pairing him with QH. Seems to need to be sheltered a bit more.

Myers is an adventure. I wonder if pairing him with Edler (when he's back) would be a better bet.

Schmitt hasn't looked great, either, to be honest. Giving him and Hamonic some slack as it's early and they're adjusting.

Chatfield looked decent, he's faster than I would have thought. Guess we'll see how he holds up tonight!

Myers' mistakes are glaring. Better suited as a # 6. Harmonic is a disaster.

Would be nice to have a coach that could fix/ lessen these mistakes.

I'm sure our defenders wouldn't look as terrible if the team D and system was actually good.

Could put Hedman on this team and he'd look like a firedrill at times in his own end

Do you mean he will be left waiting for a contract again to come back over?

The guy is gigantic, everything he does is glaring. I don't think he's been as brutal as some. He's shown some progress this year, so far.

Hamonic hasn't played in a year and is in a new system, so I'm with Yorkie, I'll cut him and Schmidt some slack 5 games in. They are still adjusting.

Overall, the entire team is sucking at D coverage. It's pretty blatant.

To be fair, he didn't play through the shortened season a few months back so he's been out of the game for over a year. He'll be better(ish) but he doesn't replace what Tanev gave you. If its any consolation, you didn't overspend on TJ Brodie...
