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?

He has been a pleasant surprise.
I don't like numbering each guy, I prefer to put them in groups. And I would group them like this:
Giordano, Brodie, Hamonic, Hanifin
Andersson
Stone, Kylington, Valimaki, Fantenberg
Prout
Andersson is establishing himself as an automatic top 5 guy. Then you have 4 guys you can seamlessly and comfortably rotate in. And an emergency guy.
