Our D-core in a few years is going to be the softest, but best skating and puck-moving in the league if Fox, Kylington and Andersson make it alongside Brodie and Hamilton.

Yeah, that actually worries me a little. Like you said teams can have a small guy in their top four, but we should make sure we don't become a small defensive group overall, even if they do excel at puck moving.
That's a recipe for easy pickings by big offensive teams.
