People continue to gloss over this, and I think it is a mistake: Brodie appears uninterested in moving on, and that disinterest makes it exceedingly difficult to trade him, even if that is what the team wants. It's easy for us to criticize the team for things it did not do, but this is really hollow criticism without a clear read on the entire situation. The same goes for the Trocheck trade: without knowing what the Flames offered or what Florida wanted it is a meaningless admonishment.

We'll never have all the info, so we have to speculate. That's the whole point of a discussion board. Trocheck was traded cheap. If Tre isn't a good enough negotiator to also get a similar cheap deal, then that is a fair admonishment of his abilities.
I also assume you mean 'hollow criticism', not 'hallow criticism'. Now that's me making a meaningless admonishment!
