i think their D is decent, vlasic, stuart, boyle are all above average to strong and no one they have is all that weak. they have good organizational depth on d also, they face a decision on boyle obviously.


i don't know nemo to me was pretty average down the stretch. i was underwhelmed by his play against the ducks and then again in this series. didn't seem to have great control of his pads. clearly got outplayed at the other end and that was even with quick and his D having some real wobbly moments.

personally i don't see an upgrade available though. i really think the sharks are committed to this group, if they can get a veteran or two to put them over the top (maybe a checking center and a decent defenseman) that should be good.
