Flames get a highly skilled right shot forward which is a huge need for the Flames. They could lock him up to a similar cap hit as Dougie with a 6 year term opposed to the 3 left on Hamiltons deal. The Flames also recoup a pick in the first round which is rumoured to be something they are looking to do.
I honestly see Hamitlon as the only player that we could move on the blue line that would come close to adding the type of forward and draft pick the team wants.

I know Hamilton can't turn into Pronger, but can he turn into Hedman? Or is he, for lack of a better term, too stupid?
Really, that is the question for me. If there is upside, you have to keep him (short of a stupid offer). OTOH, if this is as good as it gets and you can sell high, you definitely look at it. I think selling low(est) on Brodie now is a potential error and he doesn't return enough. If you can get almost as much for Hamonic as you gave up for him, I would do that too.
I am just worried that trading Brodie to address the roster issues is the worst of all options, as I think (hope) he can be fixed and you are at risk of selling very low...
