I suppose you can't win em all. At least they got it mostly right.

I think the issue is you either:
A) Force a Tanev - Zadorov pair or;
B) Force a Tanev - Kylington pair;
C) Force a Zadorov - Andersson pair and putting Hanifin - Tanev together.
You pick A) because Zadorov was a first line defender last year, Kylington wasn't an NHLer last year and as the pace increased he got worse and Zadorov - Andersson was arguably the worst pairing the Flames put on the ice in the preseason.
Not ideal but I get why they are doing it.
