From Sean Leahy at Puck Daddy:
Many National Hockey League general managers are of the belief that you should build a team from the goal out and, to use a football motto, defense wins championships.

This year’s free agent defenseman class features players that fall into each of those categories, with most looking for a significant raise in salary.
