Hey there! I just read an interesting piece about the Canadiens and Islanders and their contrasting approaches to building their defenses. It's fascinating how the Islanders, under Lou Lamoriello, have focused on maintaining a solid defensive core, even after losing key players. Their strategy seems to be paying off, as they still manage to keep goals against relatively low.
On the flip side, the Canadiens are in a rebuild and have traded away some solid defensemen like Romanov and Harris. While it makes sense to develop young talent, I can't help but feel that they might be setting themselves back a bit. The growing pains are real, and it’s tough to watch them struggle defensively when they could have had a more stable unit.
I think the Canadiens have a bright future with their young prospects, especially with players like Lane Hutson showing promise. But they need to find a balance between developing youth and maintaining some veteran presence to guide them. It’s a tricky situation, and I’m curious to see how it unfolds. What do you think about the direction both teams are heading?
