Andersson and Kylington sound like they are ready to make the jump, especially Andersson. Make a hole for him, and plug a hole up front.
Brodie, Brouwer, Shinkaruk/Poirier/Klimchuk for Sam Reinhart and Moulson
or
Brodie & Shinkaruk/Poirier/Klimchuk for William Nylander
or (going long term)
Brodie & Shinkaruk/Poirier/Klimchuk for Alex Nylander & Cliff Pu
I really believe that you move Brodie to fortify the huge gap on the RW in the organization. It will improve the team immediately, and down the line.

I don’t agree Brodie is the guy to move especially not for a potential bust pick and horrible contract.
After our 34 year old captain our best left shot D is Kulak who by all accounts is a good bottom pair NHLer I am not sure he is a top 4 guy. If Valimaki can step in next year Brodie is very valuable.
I also worry we flip him when his value takes a hit and the team acquiring him puts him on the right side and he goes back to being the 2013-2016 Brodie who was a top pairing Dman
