Didn't we try to trade Brodie twice, once for Kadri and I thought there was another at least rumored Brodie deal.

Brodie was/is fine but some people are framing it like he was a defensive wizard and a game changer. IMO Brodie was an adventure during his time here in Calgary, great at points and GD awful at other points.

We get emotionally attached to players, and I get that, but we will be fine without Brodie. He wasn't going to prop up Gio, if Gio is in significant decline that's a whole other issue.
