Who would have predicted the above, in October, after losing Giordano?

Yes, Kylington's progress filled a huge hole, and the Hanifin/Andersson pairing being capable of top D minutes, and the blossoming of Lindholm into a legit, no questions top center.... if this stuff doesn't happen, the team is stalled this year.
