It makes no sense to me, Gio and Brodie MUST be put together when Brodie is healthy. Its tried tested and proven.
Why not start playing around with Hamilton. Perhaps a Hamilton Kulak pairing could be impressive. Some great size, both young, both new (ish) and both should be in the long term plans.
D to D passes are hitting skates where as last year they were right on the tape allowing a much quicker transition out. Hell, Brodie could be looking up ice while Gio was dishing him the puck ready to send it to his outlet guy the moment it hit his tape. As small as it seems, that extra 2 second delay on the breakout allows the other team to get set on defense and eliminate those great rushes we had last year.

Kulak, as a player breaking in, has shown absolutely no inclination to bump into someone.
