Brodie should be #1. Losing a top pairing guy would be devestating to the backend, especially since Gio will be 38 next season and he should be looking to ''pass the mantle'' at some point soon.
I really think that his 2 poor seasons under GG were the anomalies and not the norm. In the seasons since GG left, he has been back to trending upwards like he was before. His giveaways are few and far in between and he's got a good enough skillset that he will age quite well. He's also been a loyal Flame over the years and seems like a great dude to have around.
