I think Yzerman will acquire a defenseman by March 2nd trade deadline, but do you think should? The reason I ask is because i'm unsure. I know we are thin back there but the young guys don't look out of place, like Witkowski and surprisingly to me is a good skater and moves the puck well, same with Nesterov who I does an excellent job at stepping up and not giving the opposition time with the puck. Nesterov has played 11 and Witkowski has played 7 and played very well. I also think Sustr and Barbs have played well too.
Given the fact Carle should be back soon too I hope Yzerman doesn't give up any high picks or prospects for a rental like Franson or Petry. If Yzerman does get a D man I would like Michalek, despite him being a rental he would come cheap and he's a vet in comparison to the other defenseman on the market. I have a feeling Yzerman is working hard for Franson given his past interest in him and it wouldn't surprise me if he's trying to land Winnik as well from the Leafs as we need gritty winger to play in our bottom 6.
