But Yzerman and Co. put emphasis on RHD and LHD.
Weber, Pietrangelo, Subban, Seabrook, Doughty are all righties.
Keith and JBo are are lefties.

Those 7 will likely be the group in Sochi with one of the Righties switching sides. Otherwise I think Gio has made a very strong case for himself imho.

He is a legitimate top pair dman right now, if we can find someone to play with him like an Ekblad we will look good for a while.

Side note, what a ####ty return for one of top dman we got last year. The sad thing is JBo was playing quite well and Feaster still shat the bed.

Wow Gio has played at least 10 less games than everyone above him.

edit: and Weber is -10 so he's getting scratched
