Toronto needs a top pairing level defenceman, and despite the over-the-top reactions around here - Brodie is that.
I do wonder if there could be a deal built around those two. Calgary can offer:
Top-4 defenceman (Brodie)
Veteran depth forward (Frolik)
Quality goalie depth (Gillies)
Toronto is in an interesting spot. They're rich beyond belief up front, while also having huge problems defensively and could possibly use some solid veteran depth to help them fill in spots when injuries arise.
I think there is some potential there for at least the basis of a deal.
