This is a thought that never ever entered my head. The Gio/TJ pairing is perhaps the best in the league last year.
Today I read this article on
TSN about the Flames. Among it, they gave their projected lineup, and for the lazy I included it below:
At first I dismissed this as pure stupidity, I mean there is simply no way Brodie would be on the 3rd pairing. Then after thinking about it a bit more, well... it kinda makes sense. The Russel/Wideman pairing is already well established and not too many teams would say no to that combo as their second pair. Hamilton I is the new star player and of course Gio IS what makes it the first pair in the first place. So, does that leave Brodie the odd man out?
/ In all honesty, look at the depth chart, we really need to make a couple trades! At the same time, I disagree with the 3rd/4th lines and a few of the "on the bubble" picks. In fact this list looks nothing like one I'd have made personally, but for the most part it does make sense.
