I had the depth chart as the obvious top four, Andersson becoming an every day guy as the 5th, and then Brodie being the swing defender that allows you get get Kylington or Stone in depending on the opposition and how Stone recovers.
Thought Fantenberg and Prout were depth for a fingers crossed long drive.
But through three games the Flames are absolutely killing it when he's on the ice, albeit with some pretty heady zone start stats.
Is he a) the answer for the third pairing this year and b) someone to look at signing?

Yeah, he really has fit in seamlessly, and offers an aspect of the game that Kylington doesn't in exchange for not offering what OK does.
As for the bolded, I think it's a real possibility if you subscribe to the theory that Brodie and/or Kylington are likely to be moved this summer in an effort o try and solve the G bugaboo the team has been in for years now and alleviate cap pressure.
