(Personally, I'd like to see Stone traded for draft picks a.s.a.p. and then have Andersson moved up into his spot).
Which season do you feel has/had the best D lineup combination?

This is a little bit funny to look at, because last year was by far our best "on-paper" year for the defence core.
I think in 2015/16 we got the most out of our D, even though it has Wideman and Russell as mainstays on it.
Now I hold out hope that this years stable of defenders outshines all previous versions.
Time will tell. I'd like to see what Stone can offer this year and Brodie as well. I pray the coaching change is significant!
