Is Brodie really going to be traded?

How important is Gio to the Flames success?

Last season playing mostly with Brodie he won the Norris and was a +39.

The previous season playing with Hamilton he was +0

The 2018-19 Flames as a team scored 196 even strength goals and let in 156 es goal differential of 40

the 2017-18 Flames team scored 158 es and 169 against - a differential of -11

The Flames brain thrust has to thinking will Andersen / Hamonic or Valimaki playing his wrong side be better for Gio than Brodie?

a lot of Brodie's glaring mistakes were because he was quick enough and smart enough to get in position to make an apparently easy play that he goofed up.

Hamilton did not make these same glaring errors because he was so far out of position that Gio would have to be covering for him.

If the Flames trade Brodie will their next hole to be filled someone to play the big minutes with Gio?

Hard to overstate the importance of extending Gio's elite play at age 35.

If Brodie is to be traded he can go for a 1st and prospect at the trading deadline.... or if the Flames are solid contender at the deadline he can serve as their deadline addition.
