I think the team probably prefers to keep Hamonic. There are several reasons, the first is Hamonic being able to anchor a pairing without Giordano on it, Brodie has yet to show it in the last couple of years. Also, when you consider speciality teams Hamonic is your top PK D, while Brodie is on PP2. I also think that Brodie’s skill(PP2 point, first pass, skating puck out) is easier to replace by what Andersson and Kylington showed so far.
