In fairness I have not really watched this player and the reviews on him are really a mixed bag. I think with the Flames losing 3 of 6 defencemen to FA, Tre felt he had to act quickly. Certainly like a lot other teams He passed on Barrie and there really was no other option.
The issue with Brodie is I am sure that Brodie did not want to end up with Seattle and Calgary could not protect him. I am sure he wanted the NMC and got that with Toronto.
