That's an interesting (and dramatic) history lesson you just gave us!
Brodie is being moved because, it's a salary cap world, and there are three young defensemen looking to make a push into the roster. Aren't you always
practicing preaching going with youth and not locking up aging players? Or do you just go with whatever is the most sensationalist?
The Flames are certainly in a cap crunch but that could be solved by just moving out Frolik and/or buying out Stone, tight but solved. By all reports the cap will go up next season because of the new US TV deal and with all Hamonic, Stone, Frolik and Brodie coming off the books with no major RFA a long term contract to Brodie if they wanted isn't that difficult. Especially for someone willing to give up money so he "stays put".
Again moving one of Brodie was written on the wall for some time now and it has nothing to do with James Neal. But that's not as dramatic a story I suppose. Eric Francis, is that you?
