Giordano - Hamilton
Giordano - Brodie
Brodie - Wideman (15/16)
Brodie - Engelland (14/15)
Brodie - Hamonic
Russell - Engelland
Russell - Wideman
Jokipakka - Engelland
Kulak - Stone
Wotherspoon - Smid
Diaz - Engelland
Butler - Smid
The rest didn't play enough for me to remember them or deserve mention. Also to those advocating moving Stone for picks this is what our defence would look like;
Giordano - Brodie (will they return to their 14/15 form?)
Hanifin - Hamonic (will they be better than the 2nd pair from last year?)
Kulak - Andersson (can they be better than just an AHL top pair?)
How many of you would bet your livelihood (Job) on that being better than 5 other teams in the Pacific or better than 4 in the pacific and 3 in the central? While I agree that Stone may be hampering Andersson's progress to the NHL a Kulak - Stone pairing is better (safer) than a Kulak - Andersson pairing. One might argue that a Valimaki - Stone or Valimaki - Andersson would be better than Kulak - Stone but at this point that is just a hope. I believe an upgrade over Kulak is more important than a possible (possibly Homer glasses) upgrade on Stone, just my two cents.
Going into the 18/19 season I believe the two biggest questions that the team needs to answer either through trade or play on the ice are if the defence and goal tending are good enough to make and go deep in the playoffs.
