I still don't think one can close the door on splitting it up, considering it may be needed to help balance the top 4/6 more evenly. Having a great top pairing but the bottom 4 continue struggling night in and night out, then something has got to give.

The Mark Giordano/Dougie Hamilton pair has to be on any short list of the best pairs in the NHL. I think it's reasonable to ask though: does it make sense for Calgary to play them together? That might sound like heresy but hear me out.

Who knows if the team is better at that point, but you will never know if you don't try.
