Flames can ill afford to give up more picks, but they potentially give themselves a lot of defensive stability for quite a few years if they can keep this crew together.
Gio and Andersson look good together, but Gio has worked very well with Brodie over the years as well. He definitely loves playing with a smooth skating partner, so if we have to part with Brodie I could see Kylington getting a shot with Gio to see what's there. OK definitely needs to bring a lot more this year in confidence and puck moving to be that Brodie-Gio fit I could see him providing, but this guy still has so much more room to grow.
Pretty sure I'm messing with everyone's handedness all over the place here... but
Gio - Kylington
Andersson - Hamonic
Valimaki - Hanifin
Is a pretty good looking group of defenceman worth keeping around.
Anyone have a best guess at what kind of pick Tre would have to give up to keep these guys away from Seattle? 2nd?
