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. |
You call the Flames naïve
Then you suggest a 4 year deal, which would bring Brodie to UFA status but has no UFA years in it (i.e. possibly the worst term possible for him)
Also, you have absolutely no justification whatsoever to claim that negotiations have hit a wall.
A deal will get done - relax
