Plus obviously there'll be UFA signings like Sekera, Boychuk etc., so when all is said and done, Brodie probably won't be among the top 40 defensemen in terms of cap hit next season ... in terms of actual payment he'll even be further down the list. If you let that sink in and also look at some names that are ahead of Brodie, you can't help but congratulate Treliving on this. He's made a couple really good UFA signings (Raymond, Hiller), but this has to be his best move as a Flames GM so far.
