All that matters is what the Flames think, not the consensus from media, fans, and scouting services. If the Flames think he's the next Chris Pronger, then in their minds, they're still improving the d-core. Add to that they may feel Brodie has reached his plateau and will no longer improve. We simply don't know.
Like I said before, I agree with not trading Brodie. I'm just trying to wrap my head around why/how this could be justified.
