Brodie's being moved because there is a salary cap and guys like Valimaki, Kylington and Andersson are making moves to become full time NHL'ers. One of Brodie or Hamonic have been talked about being moved this off season since last year. The Flames are in a cap crunch, but moving Brodie isn't really part of that.
If those three young guys weren't developing at a good pace we'd be talking about his next contract here, despite our cap situation.
