This brings up an interesting topic for me; what do to next off season with our D?
Both Brodie and Hamonic are UFA's July 1st 2020, one of them should be moved next summer to advance this team forward in other areas. As 29 year olds they will both still command high salaries on the free agent market and with the emergence of Andersson, Valimaki and Kylington making a surge in the AHL guys have to be shipped out.

Another big question is who takes over as #1D in the next 2-3 years as Gio inevitably starts to decline. I’m not sure I’d be so quick to ship out Brodie or Hamonic, especially with expansion coming up.
