Eric Stephens of The Athletic (mailbag): Anaheim needs a defenseman but the question is can they find one. The hope is to find a big shot from that back end. Offense along with a right-handed shot would be bonuses at this juncture.
Players being looked at including Colin Miller and Rasmus Ristolainen from the Buffalo Sabres. Anaheim has dictated play far better than it did last year but could use a bit more offense to keep leads. Also, it allows the defensive defenseman to worry about their end a bit more.
