6-Russell
7-Aaron Johnson
8-Holden
9-Savard/Moore
Pairings will vary. #7 is often a healthy scratch. #8 and #9 start the season in Springy.

First you are correct on this Leesmith in our dmen ordering, but I would venture to say that Wiz & Toots are really 3 - 6 pairings on almost every other team do you agree? That means we could use anyone from a 1st pairing to a 3rd defensemen via trade and make ourselves better.
We should have made a hard push for Vokoun, as he might have been able to solidify our d to buy some time for those young guys to get more seasoned.
