Brodie is not going to be the difference between us making/not making the playoffs- we have seen this over the course of his 9 seasons with us. I understand that ownership are more focused on generating minor amounts of revenue each season than actually making sacrifices to create a winner. I think we could have achieved both here with some ####ing courage.

It actually makes logical sense for a bubble team not to trade off either existing contributing players or their first. Also, who says Brodie was bringing back a 1st?
And yes, with the way the Flames injury ridden defence looks, a top 2-3 winger is likely to be a major factor in whether or not they make the playoffs.
