Going forward, filling the hole depends on what you want the makeup of that pairing to be. You don’t have to look for Brodie’s skill set. Maybe you go more defensive and use a Tanev or Vatanen. Or maybe you pair Rasmus and Gio for defensive matchups and look at a Barrie-Hanifin pairing.
Unless you can work a magic deal for Pietrangelo of course.

I guess what I mean by best skater is best skater
I wasn’t thinking of Kylington. Brodie is a better skater than Hanifin IMO. Brodie had the ability to skate out of the zone in a variety of scenarios, and in transition. I don’t put Hanifin in that same category.
I think it’s a big loss. He did have his warts tho...including having an absolute muffin of a shot
