They traded a third for a full season of stability until one or two of the younger players are ready to take the reins. Valimaki has the most potential, Mackey has the chance to be a very well rounded D with strong defensive ability, and Kylington is a complete wildcard with a high ceiling and low floor.
I like this. It shows a lot of confidence in the younger D actually having ability, and plans icetime for them.
