Trading Gio for him would be a colossal mistake and I would also be opposed to anpckage that included Brodie, Bennett AND one of our top 4 d prospects. 2 of the 3 I could likely get behind but all 3 of those pieces would be a trade I feel the Flames would lose long term.

Brodie+Bennett+Kylington/Fox/Andersson/Valimaki is a great trade package but shouldn’t be used to acquire anyone over 27 in my opinion. That is why I go back to Hamilton where I think he can get a package around a top forward 25 of younger. Having said that I am opposed to selling low on Brodie and Bennett where others think we should cash in while the value is there.
You’re consistent.

I think one thing in favour of trading Hamilton to Toronto for Nylander or Mariner is Dubas is a numbers guy so he probably appreciates how valuable Hamilton is, might be the right guy to trade with. But that’s just pure speculation.
