Well I'm all for changing up something. Gio and Brodie don't have to play together. It's not like they were great last year.
People like to blame goaltending for last year's struggles (and of course it was awful, especially Hiller). But that doesn't mean that our defenseman weren't poor defensively. Defensively, Giordano was pretty terrible in the first half of the year, Hamilton was bad most of the year, and Brodie had a tough finish. We allowed a TON of grade A scoring chances. Even the best goalies would have struggled to an extent in front of the team and system we iced last year.
Which is why I'm fine with shaking things up.
