I needed a strong defensive player to pair with Miro Heiskanen, who is middling in that territory. Last year it was Carlo with that duty, but I think Cernak takes a big stride this year and can take that role on the team. With Carlo expendable, it allows me to reset the defensive positions a little and have a younger Hague/Fabbro tandem in the 5/6 spots. Last year I went old with Boro/Cole in the third pairing, and this will be a systemic shakeup.

The Pashin for Saville is due to the Kings not drafting a goalie for several seasons.

Thanks for the talks Cam, Carlo is a rock.
