The flames did land the two biggest NCAA UFA D this year in Mackey and Poolman this year while also signing promising pro depth in Yelesin and Lerby last year.
Add to that a 23 YO Hanifin, 22 YO Andersson and Kylington and 21 YO Valimaki three of which we’ve drafted and will most likely have locked up long term. I think all things considered we could be in an absolutely brutal spot losing two D like Brodie and Hamonic but due to some great scouting and drafting with limited picks paired with decent UFA European and college signings the Flames have done well with their defensive depth all things considered.
