Granted, it's a good problem to have, too many wingers, an excess of depth, too many defenders…. Wait, what?
While we've gotten used to talking endlessly about defensive shortcomings on the Leafs, there is now an excess of defencemen. There might not be anyone I think is an elite top pairing man, but there is a good trio at the top and enough extras with four through six potential to staff more than one team.
This defence group will staff more than one team. Someone is going to the Marlies who is either NHL-capable or near enough.
