Rockets D looks like this to me. Young, good skills but is not very physical and always hurt and 20 years old, could be gone. Gorges, great surprise,Palin, the most physical D man we have and hardest working. Slovac, for a 2nd round nhl draft pick 2 years ago,gives up the puck and makes bad decisions and bad passes more than anyone on defence and is not physical, should expect alot more from him. Mayco- Like Palin has not been given regular duty yet ,so we wait and see, also is not physical. Thompson, this is his 3rd year trying for a spot, unlikely to stay. Card and Webber, look okay so far, but too early to tell yet |
