That's our trade comparable, if we are considering swapping him for a top forward.

You guys are still trying to make this an argument?
I still have yet to say that Brodie is inferior to Larson..
I have not said that at all. I have said they are very different players and that GM's around the league likely covet Larson over Brodie due to the intangibles like size, age and role on a team.
We as Flames fans are the only people who have really noticed Brodie...
When you watch the talking heads, who are the Dmen on the Flames that they talk about?
Gio and Hamilton. Or Wideman for obvious reasons. They don't talk about Brodie because he's not remarkable. He's not a top pairing guy, he's not a league leader, he's a steady as she goes Dman with offensive flair. But he certainly is not elite.
Yrembi brings up Brodie's stick positioning making up for his lack of physicality in the d-zone. Brodie is not exceptional at this either. He is very average in his own end.
Edit: Again... my point is, Brodie does not get you Landeskog and the Avs certainly do not add to Landy to get Brodie.
Edit#2: Believe it or not, I actually really do like Brodie and hope he isn't traded. I'm simply arguing the claim that some have made that the Avs add to Landeskog if a Brodie for Landeskog trade were to ever go down.
Edit #3: I feel I need to draw it out in crayon for some of you who are having a difficult time not comprehending and trying to argue something that I'm not even saying.
