Game Time Mail Bag: Are the Blues ready to roll with the defense that they have?

Our first question this week has been posed by reader Ronald W.:

Hi there!

Our defense was an issue last year. This can go unsaid. However, we end up signing 8 dmen to one way contracts. Typically there are only 7. What do we with all these dmen? If one doesn’t make the team, do we gamble in putting them down to the minors?
