I thought Brodie looked good from the day he was called up in 2012 through GG’s arrival.
All things being equal I prefer to keep Hamilton as well but we have a coach that is enamoured with L-R pairings. Removing Brodie leaves Kulak in the top 4 and very little outside of Valimaki and Kylington in the system.
Right side the Flames have Hamilton, Hamonic, Stone and Andersson. I feel Andersson could step into the lineup immediately.
Really the reason I consider moving Hamilton over Brodie is the fact I think Dougie can return a long term high end forward in a trade. Brodie I don’t think carries that value right now.
