If we added Brodie, then it is NHL ready:
Giordano - Brodie
Hanifin - Andersson
Valimaki - Hjalmasson
Mackey - Kylington
with Kylington and Hjalmarsson switching out.

If we re-sign Brodie or another dman on his level I would just roll:
Gio-Brodie
Hanifin-Andersson
Valimaki-Kylington
Mackey-Yelesin
Maybe sign someone to sit in the press box as the #7.
I don’t want a 33yo dman taking ice time away from Kylington. It’s time to give him top 6 mins all season long and if he is sitting it should be Mackey coming in IMO.
