We had five guys who are legitimate top 6 D who are left handed shots, plus Brandon Davidson.
Brodie
Hamonic
Andersson
This was our right side defensive depth, plus Yelesin, a 23yo rookie. And our couch also showed last season that sometimes he likes to left-right D pairings and moves Brodie to that side opposite a RD (Prout).
The injury to Valimaki really didn't impact our right defense. It was thin from the day we bought Stone out. Of course handedness matters.
