Do not like the D pairings. I hope they move Hanifin up asap. I suppose he's thinking shutdown and offensive pairings but IMO Hanifin just won't get sufficient minutes if that's the case.
I agree on the Coleman part, as Mangiapane didn't move the needle for Monahan and Gaudreau last season.

As for the D I was actually hoping for those pairings. I thought that Hanifin is ready to take the step and carry his own pairing. You split your 2 best D, but you'll get more balanced pairings. I also think that Tanev - Zadorov will be the first PK pairing, so they need to get used to each other on the ice ASAP.
