When you look at the Boston Bruins depth chart, defense isn’t the obvious place we’re lacking. Granted, injuries happen but going after Brenden Dillon, as suggested by TSN’s Pierre LeBrun, seems like the wrong move when we have far greater need on the right-wing.
Right now, there has been the need to use Jeremy Lauzon among others on the Boston Bruins blue-line, mainly due to injury issues. This seems all well and good; Lauzon, although young, brings some snarl and aggression to the defense on the bottom pairing.
In all reality, that’s all Brenden Dillon would bring – some snarl and aggression on a third pairing, albeit being a guy that could step up to a second pairing without being phased.
