Hard to argue.
I guess the hope would be that Valimaki and Mackey develop into top 4 dmen.
I think it’s pretty safe to assume Valimaki will..
Valimaki-Andersson
Mackey-Tanev
Gio-Nesterov
Kylington
Lerby-Kinnvall
Poolman-Yelesin
It helps that both Mackey and Lerby, by all accounts, looked solid in camp. Nesterov coming out of nowhere is a boost and it’s likely we can retain him.
Trading a LD for a RW seems like a logical choice if the expansion draft wasn’t looming.
