Hanifin - Andersson
Gio - Tanev
Valimaki - Kylington

Can you get your top 4 in the 50% range instead top pair 60% second pair 40%?
I like Rasmus alot. And I'm optimistic he will get better.

But there's also no denying that when it comes to playing with Gio, him at $4.5 million AAV this year is a massive drop off from Brodie at $4.6 last few years.

I do think the forwards are a bigger issue, but Sutter probably needs to rethink how his D is configured. With Kylington's wheels, could he play with Gio?
