I think that makes the most sense.

Doubt that Pietrangelo is an option (but hopeful)

Barrie I can't see on the top pairing with Giordano trying to defend MacKinnon and McDavid - and although I really like Andersson, his footspeed limits him against opposition like that.

Tanev is fine - I think he can become a dependable defensive player capable of moving the puck well enough. Not a TJ Brodie replacement, but I thought Brodie was the 3rd best defencemen (arguably) available - Krug may have been the 2nd best.

I am really trying to figure out how to patch-up that Brodie hole now... this might be a decent fit.
