But when you talk about keeping all of the young defensemen, you have to look at the LHD/RHD mix. Kylington, Valimaki, Hanifin and Giordano all shoot left. There are only three slots available.
Are you going to ask one of the young guys to switch sides?

I know Hanifin played on the right side, at certain points, in Carolina before and I've heard Kylington has done it in the past as well. Even Valimaki likely has considering Stockton only has 1 RH dman this season.
For whatever reason I think its harder for a RHed dman to play on his offside more so than it is for LHed guys (I have nothing to back this up I just feel like its true - could be that there are more LHed guys in the league).
