Knowing what transpired at the deadline, I'm now even more confident predicting the flames will end up re-signing Harmonic, which will end up being a mistake from a value to performance ratio.

This is a lot of speculation. What we do know is that Brodie is valuable to this team
this season. Regarding Hamonic.
He is hurt, and therefore impossible to trade. Moreover the fact that the Flames actually aquired D-men suggests that he will miss a significant amonut of time. Another fact although more subjective is that Stone, Yelleshin and Davidson were not good enough, and a large part of the reason the Flames D has struggled as of late. The Flames were not in a position where they could sell without mortgaging this season. Which does not make sense, because they are in a playoff spot, and could find a easy matchup first round.
