Agreed that Brodie was gone either way, but it seemed like bad asset management by the organization when 2 of 3 of your top d-men are gone in the same off-season. Let's look at the pairings now:
Giordano-Andersson
Hanifin-Tanev
Valimaki-Kylington
Can't say I'm to confident in pretty much an all-in year to go in with that as your upper end depth. Right now Andersson, Valimaki and Kylington would be perfect for the third pairing. Gio needs another high end partner to create offence.
