The Blues have rotated him, Edmundson, and Dunn at D all season, Edmundson had an shaky game 4 opening the window for Bortuzzo . Pens- the Penguins have a lot to figure out in the off season. The Pens biggest issue last season was Offense, not the defense, the D and goal tending could have been better, nut the lack of goal scoring with the top players on the team was atrocious.
