Treliving has to try and build depth to survive multiple injuries in the top 4. How comfortable are you with our defense if Gio, Hamonic AND Valimaki are out? Treliving has to acquire depth for all possibilities and contingencies.

There is no realistic contingency for a Giordano injury. No one - not Hanifin, Valimaki, or Kylington, can fill that void yet so of course I wouldn't be comfortable.
That said, if it came down to it and we had to roll something like
Hanifin - Brodie
Kylington - Andersson
Davidson - Yelesin
Then I think it'd work out fine for a while. The biggest question mark here is Yelesin ans clearly the org felt comfortable enough buying Stone out and letting Prout walk that they think Yelesin can step in as a #6 and not embarass himself. That left side still looks perfectly competent and you would probably expect both Brodie and Andersson to be over the 25 minutes a game mark for a while.
