I think Big Z + Weegar should be the new pairing this year, with the other two pairings being kept the same. That way we roll 3 dominant pairings and I believe have the best D1-D3 depth in the league.
I thought Hanifin had a pretty bad playoffs, but that was also he and his partners first time in the roles they had at that time of season. That experience is going to help them, and to the points above - when your forwards play scared, it puts way too much pressure on the defenders.

I hope it's an absolute battle for top four, I do.
But Kylington slid in the second half and was half the player without Tanev when Tanev was out.
Add in what Tanev did to Giordano and Hanifin, and I think it's natural to have some reservations about Kylington carrying a pairing.
I think he's firmly in third spot on the left side, and maybe 4th and crossing over to the other side.
But he's young, happy to be proven wrong!
