I’d take Brodie every day of the week. He was here so long that people look at all his flaws and give him no credit for how good he is.

This is accurate if you are looking at last year and last year only. Before his off year in Toronto Barrie was considered one of the best D men in the NHL and was predicted to be an 8+M player on his next contract. I think this is a big opportunity for the Flames to get a #1 D man on a one year deal at a very cheap rate for what he will bring.
