Well now we actually have 3 lefties and 3 righties on defense you'd think they will all play their natural side. So even though Gio, Brodie and Russell can all play top 4, we will probably have them on different pairings. As much as I love Russell, I'd be giving more minutes to Gio and Brodie. Hamilton looks to be the guy logging the most minutes on the right side. Wideman seems ahead of Engelland. That gives us when fully healthy:
Giordano-Hamilton
Brodie-Wideman
Russell-Engelland
Pretty amazing depth. Five top 4 defensemen and arguably three top pairing guys in Gio, Brodie and Hamilton. If one goes down to injury we'll still be strong.
