I have a lot of friends asking me what's happening with the pairings for fantasy purposes... one guy in my keeper league just dropped Wideman even (which I think was a terrible move)...

I'm no expert and none of us here are the final say in the matter but I mean you just don't break up what works. It's common sense. Gio/Brodie has worked just as well as Wideman/Russell. Though the latter is more susceptible to change.

What you will find happening is DH spending some time here and there with Gio on the PP no doubt (and even w/ Brodie I bet) and he'll push Russell into the sheer defensive minutes a bit more where he belongs as well, meaning by the end of the season he'll likely be paired with Wideman full time - that is if Wideman isn't dealt by then.

I really don't see much coming in the way of Gio-Brodie however, lots of articles about on the subject that the Flames would be wise to mold him after Gio in fact and the best way to do that is continuing to do what they are doing.
