The Breaking Up of Last Year's Defense

Steve Zipay at Blue Notes says last year's defensive pairings of Wade Redden-Michal Rozsival and Marc Staal-Dan Girardi may be a thing of the past...

"The four pairs in the hopper in last couple days have one youngster with a partner with NHL experience, with one of the two counted on for joining the rush. Torts wants Staal to increase his offense.

So Del Zotto-Redden; Gilroy-Girardi, Staal-Rozsival, Sanguinetti-Semenov."

...breaking up The Albatross Twins was a necessity. Hopefully their play won't bring down Del Zotto or Staal.

I think they should keep Staal-Girardi together and put rooks withs vets, for Redden-Gilroy and DelZotto-Roszival. There's no question that the Albatross twins should be apart though. I just don't think there's any need to seperate Staal and Girardi.
