See, I dont think OK has a long future in Cgy in the eyes of management.

He was given a lengthy trial this past year (and a decent one the year before) but once the deadline rolled around they added 2 LS guys that were always going to play ahead of him....putting him 5th on the depth chart for left side guys. And this was at a time when there were injuries on the RIGHT side, yet 2 LH dmen were the "adds" for a playoff run.

So looking forward I would guess that BT has both Forbort and Gustaffson as guys to play here ahead of OK....Gio and Hanifin are locked in at 1@2 on that side with (Im guessing) Forbort or Gustaffson probably in at that 3 position and perhaps the other one as the 7th depending on cost.
