Point was that Hamonic had a role as defensive stalwart on second pairing. No he wasn’t good enough at it, but it’s more or less what he was supposed to be
The top pairing was Brodie-Gio, and like I say, Andersson is more of a middle pairing guy (or even bottom on a good team)
Valimaki and Nesterov are bottom 6 guys.
With Father Time catching Gio and Brodie not there to skate and move the puck, this team doesn’t have a top pairing
