I'd rather stick with Bortuzzo, personally. Even if Pateryn is better- which, eh - our best defensive pairings are:
Dunn-Pietrangelo
Scandella-Parayko
Gunnarsson-Faulk
You can flip Dunn and Gunnarsson as you like, I don't think the analytics bare out that Faulk has been great as Pietrangelo's partner, but regardless, Bortuzzo ends up being scratched a bunch anyway. His main advantage is as an excellent penalty killer and he's got an elite locker room presence/60 with this team. Don't know that that's worth it just to possibly upgrade a bit for one run and then have that guy walk at the end of the year.
