Didn't look at that but did look at puck moving but flawed dmen and what they fetched in a trade.
A couple came to mind:
Keith Yandle
2015-Mar-01 Traded from Arizona Coyotes with Chris Summers and round 4 pick in the 2016 draft (Tarmo Reunanen) to New York Rangers for Anthony Duclair, John Moore, round 2 pick in the 2015 draft (Oliver Kylington) and round 1 pick in the 2016 draft (Dennis Cholowski)
Yandle had 2 years left on is deal I believe
Kevin Shattenkirk
2017-Feb-27 Traded from St. Louis Blues with Pheonix Copley to Washington Capitals for Zach Sanford, Brad Malone, conditional draft pick, round 1 pick in the 2017 draft (Morgan Frost) and conditional round 2 pick in the 2019 draft
He was a pending UFA
Both these guys average more offense than Brodie but not by a long shot. And similarly they have other flaws and can be adventures in their own zones.
I think teams value mobile puck moving dmen greatly, and the above deals underscore that (to me).
I think Brodie would get back a handsome return.
