Seems like a bit of a leap. Who was gonna play LD on that pairing?
As soon as they made the decision to move Brodie back to the right we’d have too many right shot dmen. I don’t think any of Hamonic, Stone or Hamilton would’ve excelled in their off side. Basically once they decided to move Brodie back with Gio you had to trade one of Hamilton, Hamonic or Stone. And it sounds like Dougie wanted out if he wasn’t on the top pairing. Too big of a hit to his points.
