I won't sell Engelland out because I like him, but he's in the press box in our current line up, and he's the best of the three that's been outted.. by the biggest of margins. Stone really solidified out defence.. Hamonic just knocks it out of the park. Hopefully Brodie and Hamonic start working together even before camp opens to really start to read and understand each other.

And that's the thing. Last year, those pairs were thrown together for game 1 (as were the forward lines).
This year, things are much more set. And (almost) everyone is familiar with the system.
But specifically to the bold, I think it was Hamonic, in his interview, that specifically mentioned playing with Brodie. I don't have the interview or quote handy, but I remember interpreting it at the time as suggesting that Treliving had already discussed this with him. In other words, things seem pretty set this year and the pairs should be together from the beginning of preseason.
It should be a much better start to the season than last year.
