Prioritizing a special teams specialist at the cost of the assets you listed would be madness.
Particularly because we've got Giordano, Andersson, Valimaki, Kylington and Hanifin - four of which are 23 years old, and have all shown offensive upside.
Giordano - Tanev
Hanifin - Andersson
Valimaki - Kylington
That's how I see the defence lining up.
