You are clearly an Oiler fan. And you massively under-rate Brodie if you think his ceiling is a 2nd pairing guy.

Yep you got me, total oiler fan. Basically not being a homer=oiler fan, good to know. If he was only worth Backlund+1st+prospect he would be dealt already depending on what you mean by 'prospect'. Could be Poirier, Bennett, Jankowski, Roy, Elson, Rafikov... kind of important to be a little more specific there.
Also I should say I wouldn't do that trade if I was Calgary either, I was just estimating his value.... really I was just wanting to engage in some legitimate hockey talk. Anyway, Edmonton and Calgary are hardly good trading partners for a multitude of reasons. Technically we have the pieces to go after a big fish like Hall, but it wouldn't be smart this early into a rebuild.
Sorry I came off a little annoyed but, geez... calling someone an oiler fan is pretty much a personal attack. I would be lying if I were to say my jimmies weren't a little rustled over that.
