They all can handle decent minutes but really lack a PP presence as well as physicality. This d-core can survive but it is just decent and won't survive the rigors of playoffs.
Suter will help that.

Solid is pushing it a bit...
Gilbert and Spurgeon can handle big minutes and be steady. But beyond that, there's really no consistency. Or offense.
It's a big reason as to why they're chasing Suter and why they've selected Brodin and Dumba in subsequent drafts. That defense would still be fairly shoddy this season if they do land Suter but things will be looking up moving forward, in my view.
