I reckon we only sign one D for the right side. Chabot/Branny/Mete is good on the left and Zub is good and the organization likes Zaitsev fsr. Ideally it’s a top 4 defensive RHD but honestly if Hamilton will come I’d take him, Chabot-JBD Sanderson-Hamilton is an elite, well-balanced top 4 in 2-3 years and it makes Branny acceptable to upgrade the top 6. So basically I think we don’t need Forbort, maybe a less expensive 7/8 guy (i.e. claim Kylington on waivers maybe), but Brown can be the 7D with JBD pushing.
You missed Seattle they prob snag Tierney. I think I’d rather have Daddy than Martinook tbh. Dont hate Bozak on the 4th line but if you wanted Watson there that works too, we’ve got some good AHL depth (Bishop, Amadio, Shaw, Sokolov). Pinto>L. Brown for sure, Brown hasn’t earned more than min and Pinto is better, he’ll prob be the 3C.
