GranteedEV --
When I say "cost-controlled," I'm talking about guys like Lindholm and Hanifin, who are signed for years going forward at the same (reasonable) salary. Brodie is not. He's a free-agent after 2020, and he'll command an enormous salary as a UFA. It's a signing that I'd be uncomfortable with Treliving making.
My definition of versatile has nothing to do with physicality. That's quite a reach. My definition of versatility has all to do with the fact that Brodie hasn't displayed an ability to replicate his terrific play apart from Giordano, and he hasn't shown he can play the left side. He's also not useful on special teams.
I also think you undersell Hamonic and especially Andersson. Neither of them have shown the incessant volatility that Brodie has. And your assessment hasn't accounted for the very real possibility that Treliving could acquire a replacement for Brodie who ticks many of his boxes.
Finally, I'd appreciate it if you didn't call me "dense." Thanks.
