Well, with Hamilton returning a great defensemen in the deal I wonder if Brad is still pondering another defense for forward deal, as we technically haven't given up a defensemen position yet.
You've now got
Brodie - Giordano
Hanifin - Hamonic
Andersson - Stone
Kulak
Valimaki
Kylington
If I'm reading Brad's tendencies correctly matched with what he stated (purposely built up a large, skilled D-core to trade from for forwards) I bet he does the following this summer
1. Trade Brodie or Stone (Brodie for another top 6 forward, Stone for a depth forward)
2. Sign a cheap vet for the 7th spot for insurance
3. Wait and see if Valimaki or Kylington can take his job
