My apologies that I wasn't that clear earlier in the thread. The worry seemed to be that trading Brodie for Hoffman (as an example) would leave a hole in the LD. All I was saying that a simple solution would be to make the trade along the lines of Brodie/Gilles for Hoffman/Oduya, with the thought that having Hoffman on the first line would more than make up for the drop to Oduya on the second pairing.
At no point point did I intend to imply that we should trade Brodie for Oduya.
There are about six to eight teams that are sellers, and a couple of them have the magic combination of a scoring RW and a serviceable UFA LD.
Brodie has a lot of value to a team that has a hole on RD.
(This may not be the right thread for this talk, but I did interject it here as not to muddy up the trade thread, seeing as how the Brodie talk was already in full swing here)
