Also, Prout isn't Bobby Orr, but he is better than any of the options on the left side.
Brodie
Hamonic

Stone
Prout

Put you depth charts side by side. Your left side excludes Gio altogether (I know your point was to show how thing that side is) but when you talk about the right side youninclude all options.
Gio
Hanifin
Valimaki
Kylington
Right side
Brodie
Hamonic
Andersson
Stone
Both go 4 deep but one of the right side guys is a LHD. Also Stone for all we know may never play again. Blood clots have ended careers in sports before (Chris Bosh).
At the end of the day I support the Flames adding defensive depth and assume left hand shots are easier to come by. Definitely more experience on the right side but it remains that this team typically will only dress 2 right shot D and only one spare is an okay replacement and he has had a long term injury.
