Rasmus is just not able to make up the ground when Gio gets stuffed, which is happening more often. And Rasmus has a lot of bad pinches himself.

Hanfiin is weird. Prior to Ward being fired, he's bad defensively and have no sense of attack on the o-zone. After Ward gets fired, he's definitely more offensive. Defensively -meh.
I think the Gio misses Brodie. I think we all miss seeing Gio and Brodie work their magic. I also kind of miss Hamonic as the second right pairing. A lot of people will disagree, but Hamonic was supposed to be a their stay-at-home type D-man on the right flank. However, of all the seasons, except the first one with the Flames, he's done quite well jumping in on plays and has a pretty good point shot. You don't get that from Tanev at all. Tave is very sound defensively and corrects most of Hanifin's shortcomings. So, a lot of people complain about Hamonic for the absolute wrong reasons. Sure, he's not a pretty boy like Hanifin, but he gets it done and adds toughness to the team.
