He was basically what Hanifin is for us, except with double Hanifin's cap hit.
It's more like the Blackhawks trading away Brent Seabrook because he was just a product of Duncan Keith.
Additionally, because Brodie only has a year of term left, his highest value is to the Calgary Flames. Rebuilding teams want term, competing teams want performance / $.

Lol that Seabrook contract is now crushing them though. Bad analogy
