Yikes! 6'6" 19 years old With agility, reach, and details, Kleber’s a formidable defender. He angles opponents to the outside and times his pokes just as they expose the puck. He has the range to switch between high, low, and off-puck coverage with ease. He’s physical, yet rarely chases or ends up in the box. -EliteProspects 2024 NHL Draft Guide

How many decent defensive prospects does that make? Osburn, Strabek, and the two Russian guys in Rochester, plus R Johnson?

Adding Seth Jones to an already excellent team makes them look unstoppable

Holy turn of events Batman!

Such a great game after two.

Ya, that was a shot to the head

Count me in on that, we could of coughed up two second rounders and I would of been fine with it

It was not as bad as the hit on Barkov, I'll give you that.

Really? I thought it was way late. Maybe I just hate Tkachuk. But the pass was way away

Total cheap shot

Back comes Tampa

Looking at what Florida did in going out and trading for the great Seth Jones makes me wish we could swing trades like that. He's the type of veterans defenseman any team could use. Hoping KA or whoever is in charge gets a veteran d-man who is good in here to round out the d-core

Is this because of Levi? Or more team defense? I see Levi is like 6th in AHL in GAA. Not exactly inspiring

Until they run into Florida

He is still playing...in the playoffs for a good team. I don't get the complaint about him, he was a very solid player. I'm sure there is some wing-ding analytic saying he is weak in 2 on 2 situations away from the puck in high scoring situations, or something. But he is solid That article, or what was posted, just came off as really strange. Just simple bi tc hing

Leafs getting away with murder

That wasn’t kicked in? Whatever

The defense needs upgrades. Through free agency? This should be interesting

It was a joke

Because we have not traded him in the last 14 seasons! And we have not made the playoffs Time for. change!

Fair enough, but that's not all on him. How much does he play? If he was a starting QB--to use football analogy-- I'd say ya, but sixth d-man?

In the NHL. He will play somewhere, and Adam's point was that since he would be sitting a lot, and not complaining, he is not a cancer. He is cheap, plays decent and is ready when an injury happens. He isn't very important in the larger scheme, but when you run out of defenseman, you lose games

I thought it was good answer, basically you can never have enough good defenseman

Big emphasis on getting the team to play better team defense. And astrophysicist literally don't know how the universe will end

Status quo all the way it looks like
