‘”The league hasn’t gotten easier, but I think it has gotten younger. With that, I think these younger defensemen are coming in, and speed is probably a bigger part of the game than it was 5-10 years ago because there’s a little bit more space to use your speed. I think that while it’s a difficult adjustment for all young players, I do think the young players and their speed are starting to have a quicker impact a little earlier in their careers. That’s a good thing.”‘
