Let Brodie make those slick backhand passes!

I get the impression that Gully would like Brodie to play on the left and so he's giving him as many reps as possible to see if it will work out.
I also wonder if Flames brass (BT + Gully) is hoping to put Wideman in a position to get points to increase his trade value, provided he isn't a big liability. I mean, that is the only explanation I can come up with to explain the insistence of pairing him with Gio on the top unit, because in my eyes he hasn't earned a top 4 spot on the roster with his preseason play... And likewise, Hamilton looks like he is slow to adjust to the new systems again... I wasn't exactly impressed with his preseason either, so slotting him on the 3rd pairing makes sense to start the season.
