It's not like Shatts isn't offensively gifted also and can eat a ton of minutes too. Not quite at the Brodie level but is still a great player.
To add a Fabbri who is showing he is a force of skill and another pick in the first round?
I love Brodie as much as everyone else and he is no doubt the Flames best player right now.
But something like this is not something you just hang up the phone on..

The problem is that Shattenkirk is UFA after next year and you'd have no guarantee he'd re-sign. STL first rounders aren't very high either. I just don't see the value as being equal. Doesn't even come close to tempting me in the end.
Brodie is locked up long term on a great contract and is just entering his prime. On the verge of being a top 10 defensemen in this league. You don't trade players like that unless its a crazy overpayment. And this proposal is far from a crazy overpayment.
Brodie, Gaudreau and Bennett are as close to untouchable as it gets on the Flames IMO.
