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.
Yeah, it should be better if the pairings actually work. On paper they look ideal, but then again so did Bouwmeester/Regehr.
