I’m hoping there’s more moves to come because I don’t see a playoff team in this group.

I think that the loss of Brodie gives opportunity to our other young d-men, and we have one of the best young d groups in the league.One of Andersson or Valimaki will be slotted in to play with Gio, and they will do just fine. If Markstrom can play like he did last year, that too makes up for that loss. Tanev was a great signing-he's a warrior and a great leader.
