Brodie got a full NMC from Toronto - so he will have to be protected in the draft. I think the Flames were right to not want to give him the NMC and it had nothing to do with Gio.

Andersson and Hanifin are two guys they want to protect for sure. Rumours have been the Flames are looking at potentially another trade...

For example if the Flames were to trade Gaudreau to Philly for a package that included Sanheim then having Brodie on a NMC would really limit them.

They would want to protect Sanheim, Andersson, and Hanifin, but having Brodie with NMC would limit them from doing so.

I think the Flames just didn't want to hand out a NMC since it would limit a lot of flexibility in trades between now and the expansion draft.
