People need to take the feelings of players out of the equation. They are commodities that have value. You need value to trade to invest in more value.

This, plus coming off of his 13-14 season, Brodie had 1.5 good seasons (31 points and 14/47 points in the lockout year) and one pretty mediocre one where he spent time in the AHL (14/54 NHL points). His contract was a pretty fair market value deal at the time, which he signed a year in advance of being an RFA.
