Brodie is greatly overrated by flames fans. He was good that one or so seasons when he was paired with Giordano during the Hartley years. He's been pretty average since then.
He's not very good offensively as he is literally scared to even think about shooting the puck. He's weak defensively. Outside of being a good skater when he wants to, there's not a strong quality you can bank on getting out of him on a night in and night out basis.
I don't expect him to be traded this deadline, but would be shocked if he isn't this offseason. I also think, many here will be disappointed with the return.
