How can Hanifin be a Brodie in training when they play different sides of the ice?
Hanifin does benefit from Hamonic. I implied as much in my post. But Gio-Brodie are far more crucial to our success than Hanifin-Hamonic. One is IMO the best D pair in the NHL. One is a pretty good second pair, but arguably not even a top 30 D pair.
Finally Valimaki is far closer to Hamonic than he is to Brodie.

Gio allows Gio to be Gio. But moreover, I'm talking about skill sets. Hanifin is more similar to Brodie,and I also think Valimaki and Kylington are going to be a lot like Brodie, whereas no one is like Hamonic.
You seem to think this is a slight on Brodie. He may be more important right now, but if there are four guys who do the same things as him, and none that do what Hamonic does, even if Hamonic isn't "better", you don't trade him.
