I tend to think that the Flames have a stronger appetite to re-sign Brodie than it appears from the outside looking in, but again, I think it was more difficult to trade Brodie than you insinuate. Certainly the Flames could have moved him if they were determined to do so, but perhaps we can agree on this much: there are several mitigating factors which have either hampered their ability, desire or both to do so.
