Even with Gio, this team is middling. Don't change your plans just because of an injury to him. This smacks of a GM not knowing where his team is at.
It's middling by the way, in case you weren't sure.
WHat is adding a depth defensemen going to do to help this team win a Stanley Cup in the future? Nothing.
For the record, i'm all for re-signing Brodie and trading Hamonic, but if there's a good hockey trade out there for Brodie and IF Brodie is not intent on re-signing, then there's no point in holding onto him just because of the Gio injury. Gio will be back but the bigger issue is asset management. You don't throw an asset (Brodie) away just because another one got injuried.

My thoughts too - the idea that you can't trade Brodie because Gio's injured is just more pie-in-the-sky "We're just a piece away..." BS. Team's not good, and the problem isn't fixed by standing pat now. I mean, arguably, they shouldn't trade Brodie away at all, given that the team's defense hasn't looked stellar for awhile here - it may be as important to keep Brodie as it is to get a RHS RW here.
But if Brodie on the left and Hamonic on the right is the top pairing right now.... playoffs looks pretty far away.
