fair enough
JMO the negotiations have hit a wall with Brodie whether that is on his side or theirs it shouldn't happen with an RFA player that is not a star. Brodie is average but above average for his age. He has the potential in 2 years to be a desirable player among likely many GM's.
I personally feel that Feaster and i am sure that KKing and Edwards have given him a number he has to not exceed with Brodie, they do not want to and Feaster has said it himself go beyond 2 years and i bet the $ amount is less than 2m max per.
Brodie is likely wanting 4 years at 2m-2.5m per. This is just a guess.
The Flames not agreeing to a 4 year will lose out on Brodie when that time comes.
He will then be if what potential we have seen be a 3-3.5m D man and still very young.
The Flames are being very niave about what should be a very straight forward signing. Sign for 4 years and start building the damn new core.
