I've been waiting for 3 or 4 years for people to start remarking on how slow Pionk is, especially in his first few steps. It's glaring and yet rarely seems to come up. DeMelo correctly gets pointed out in that regard, so it's not like it can't happen.

I'd say that at least Arny would sit Bauer in the third, but more Pionk and DeMelo might not be better at this point either.

Winnipeg's 3 RD are pretty much unplayable. Slow feet, poor passing, lack of puck sense, they have it all :)

7, 62, and 2 looked like they were out there in broomball shoes. The top end talent isn't good enough to carry several non-skaters.

The only hope is that a RD is part of the Hellebuyck return, but I have major concerns about Winnipeg's ability to evaluate defensemen accurately.
