I wonder what the main reason for this is. Why do the Flames want to trade away one of Brodie or Hamonic?

-Both players are UFAs after next year
-There will be an expansion draft
-Younger players are ready to take top 4 spots
-Cap reasons

Whatever the reason, it makes sense to trade one of them. Brodie probably makes more sense to trade away, because he has a higher cap hit. Hamonic wanted to come to Calgary to be close to home. I think he'd be more likely to re-sign. I also think Hamonic brings more of what the team needs.
