I am starting to think the Flames should look at trading Brodie this off season. The Flames can no longer afford his defensive lapses and inconsistencies however his contract and offensive skills should be enough to get a decent trade return.
I think what concerns me the most is his inability to play the left side. Defencemen usually play better on their strong side as it is easier to make breakout passes from your own zone and keep the puck in the offensive zone. I completely understand management wanting the defence on their correct sides and if Brodie cannot fit into this then it is time for him to move on.
