Hopefully the fact Brodie is a dman and dmen come at a premium, means somebody will be willing to pay a heavy price to take a shot on him rejuvenating his career. If the window is now, I hope its for a top 6 guy to play on that 2nd line with Tkachuk (preferably with speed, to offset Tkachuk). Hoffman has always intrigued me, good skater and wikid shot. Not sure Panthers need D though.

TB has Stralman, Coburn, Girardi and Rutta all expiring this summer. This may be a good time for them to replenish their D ranks. I'm thinking something that could work for both teams would be Monahan/Brodie for Point and perhaps a mid-level pick or prospect. TB kills two birds with one stone, Calgary gets their elite center and opens up space on the back end for the young guys.
Just spitballing of course, but it's not the craziest idea in the world.
