The Flames don’t have a skater like Brodie on the back end who can skate like he does. He’s useful on the powerplay and on most breakouts. Until someone comes in and can replace what he can do, we shouldn’t trade him. I’d rather trade Hamonic before trading Brodie. Hamonic’s limited offensive ability and poor breakouts can be easily replaced. Plus Brodie on the right side looked like a Norris candidate. Maybe that’s something that needs to be addressed before anything else.
