Yeah, and I can definitely see the desire to add a veteran - but I'd hope that the organization would trust the kids, at least to start. I feel like Kylington and Andersson, given their level of aggression (always standing up for each other and teammates), are pretty good candidates to rise to the occasion.
Acquiring cheap veteran depth definitely isn't a bad idea. I just wouldn't be super jazzed to see a 6/7 veteran d-man come in and instantly see Kylington get benched.
