I'm a little worried that the reuniting of Brodie and Giordano doesn't pay off as well as we hope as Gio is still a great player but he's on the slow decline and Brodie has been the most mistake prone defenseman on the roster. That said maybe something as simple as Brodie playing back on the RH side is all it will take to see immediate improvement. I have no doubt we will see some slippage in quality of the first pairing but the hope is that the team can score a few more goals to offset that.
