There were 5 games where they were on the ice less than 10 minutes. Brodie was paired with Prout for 4 of those games.
In the playoffs Brodie and Gio were together for 4 games ... Anderssen and Gio game 3 where the Flames were blown out 6-2 Gio -2 / Brodie 0
RD Brodie , Hamonic , Anderssen ---- Brodie is somehow not the Clear cut
best RD on the team? He was the #1 ES toi d-man last season, even higher than Gio.
There is not one team in the league who would look at the Flames D last year and say we need to get Anderssen to play with Lindholm or Jossi or Morrissey or Keith on our #1 pairing.

You basically ignored what I said.
Top pairing defensemen don't get experimented with on third pairings unless they are a) dissatisfied with how they are playing b) looking at life without the player.
This is the way the league works.
He has one year left and is a UFA, and the Flames have players pushing from the top.
Brodie was attacked on this site all winter. It wasn't the peaches and cream you're making it sound like.
