Geez I dunno. With the depth Calgary has in defensive prospects I think you consider it to re-fill the picks cupboard that's bare, particularly if that 1st is within the top 15 overall.
Honestly this may be unpopular but my belief is that defense is similar as goaltending in that the more icetime a player gets the better they play but in a borderline exponential fashion. Any dman that gets a crapton of icetime always looks amazing in comparison to when they slot in the 5/6. Example...I think Stone could fill in a top 4 spot and play really well, where as a 5/6 guy he looks worse than he really is. If you can get 3 relatively higher picks for Brodie I think you need to really look hard at that.
Calgary has Valimaki and Fox, both excellent D prospects I'd like to see them retain instead of Brodie.
